Waves

I am sitting on my own

The piano gently plays into my soul

As my tears wash my cheeks

Of my pain and sadness.

I miss her so much, my Ruth,

The void in my heart is unfilled

I cry in anguish

My hands shake at the thought

Of the loss of her

I curl up inside with grief

It hurts me so much

Overwhelming me with unhappiness.

The music breathes over me

The waves rise and fall

Like them I break apart

Oh god, please make me whole.
