Ocean Tide Poem by Kim Jones

I gave my all and I've burned out
Just like a star with a reason to fall
My heart is safe and my guard is up
You try to reach me but my ocean tide sweeps you away.

My fear is hidden, trapped in my soul
It's tucked away in the emeralds of my eyes
Where no one can see past my wall
For my soul is vulnerable and secret.

My love has dried up,
in the desert of what once was
I can't change what has happened
I can't let it happen again.

I'm sorry that you can't find me,
I'm sorry it ended this way,
but I've learned my lesson;
It's always safer to run away.

My ocean tide has swept you up
And now you're too far gone
The stars of mine are all burned out
I hope you've just moved on.
