Breakers

Dally here in calm waters
Etch these memories in deep
All the gentle waves and moments 
Real or not, they’re yours to keep

Yet in time this may falter
Or perhaps it never was
Unearthing twisting shadows 
Still trying not to see the cause

Clutching to any semblance 
Really, the smallest drop of remorse  
Empty hands finding nothing
Waves hitting with such force

Echoes keep you here
Daring you to not let go
Take it all in the name of
How things were, how they might grow

In time, what will be -
Slowly giving up more and more
Until you’re beaten down or until you
Pull away and make a break for shore
