Love & Death go Hand in Hand

Like Waves on the Shore

By: the iHope Poet

I can feel it beating strong,

the heart you let me keep,

and amidst the scattered moonlit stars, 

I'm lost in love so deep....

We dreamed of us tomorrow, 

and life, forever more. 

I never thought those nights would end

like waves against the shore. 

Such striking cold and darkness came 

and fought to take your place.

Funny how the death of love 

can make one feel erased. 

You left me here. You left me. 

The grave won't let you go --

and buried, too, in your dead grasp

are my lost heart and soul. 

I'm fighting now, against the pain, 

the fear is caving in,

so, when love comes to me again, 

I might just let him in. 

And for every heart I give away, 

I take the risk of losing;

but as long as I remember you,

that risk is well worth choosing. 

The truth is, love can always die, 

just like our lives down here.

But death is never quite as weak 

as when love reappears.
