Throwing Rocks At The Soul
Sitting on the old jetty
the surf pounding hard
at the rocks at my feet
salt spray stinging my eyes
or is that just tears?
Not sure how I got here,
or how it was that you came along
but right now I feel
like the half woman, half beast
who lured the sailors to their end
with a song bright with a promise of love,
and wondering how it is
that I could cause pain
to a heart I love so dearly.
