by the sea.
Of what I wanted out of
life for me.
Calm was what I said.
Just calm in my head.
But, oh, how quickly, people
forget
the things we say by the
sea.
Even though they nodded
and agreed.
Calm sounds nice.
Calm sounds sweet.
And then they went
to sleep.
Maybe I should have
clearly pronounced
what
calm meant to me
because in the end,
eye to eye,
we
never did see.
Calm to them was a lie
and more.
And I guess
they thought what
I said
by the shore
was just
something to ignore.
Or that I was unsure.
So, since calm
they couldn't believe,
me,
they no longer see.
Except when they close
their eyes to sleep.
