The Sands

The train rattles on

With that familiar rhythm,

I\'ve felt it a thousand times,

But today it brings no

Sweet memories

Only miseries.

 

Cliffs rise up,

And I remember

How I walked them alone;

But knowing that I

Was welcome home,

Even cold and drenched 

With esturine chill.

 

The sands seem to call

Like long-lost ghosts,

All those souls

Who lost their way -

Disappeared beneath the mud

Memories stuck there

Will forever stay.

 

How I wish you cared

And wanted me,

Your only child

Who has never lived up

To what you wanted her to be.

But I\'m just me...

I fear I\'ll never measure up,

So sorry.
