amen it sucks though

Shattered shells beneath tender feet
cutting deep as crashing waves
churn feverous red foam
up deep veins of white sand

natures army advances from the cold
no pity no shame
pecking at bare nerves at flesh
leaving none untouched

fierce wind howls in
never left out or to be forgotten
withering youth
stealing tears

A bloated carcass washes in
advertising bleak death
not shy raw stench oozes off
harsh sun returns now

Here stand I watching
my true future unfolding politely
no mystery no false shroud
facing a terrible prophecy forever written

When the time of love has passed
when the sum of me has run its course
I shall fade away..to another day
such as this
