Washed Away

I close my eyes, as the wind runs its fingers thru my hair; The coming waves dance across my feet, as the sound of it all, captivates my ears. All the while, letting these memories be carried away with each wave, as I begin to forget about you.

Wrapping my arms tighter around one another, I open my eyes to catch a glimpse of the amber sunset, knowing a new day is to come.

Strolling along the shoreline, a smile breaks my stone expression, when the sound of laughter fills my ears. Watching the greatest joy of my life, take in hers. She gives me hope in the things that are good in this world. She is the epitome of sheer beauty and happiness.

Each wave hits my skin, stealing away those memories that have weighed me down for too long. Taken away from the all the fear, the pain, scars and heartbreak. I pray for only the best for my daughter, and to never endure such feelings.

With a deep breath, I let your final memory go, and drop the last symbolic item of you in the coming wave, and in the last ounce of sunlight, I walk away, for you are no more.
