That Day

A shadow in a storm

A ghost in your memory

Never did I think this is where I'd be

Hoping you'd come back on your knees

What a fever dream

Cascading waves are my emotions

One day I miss you, the next I'm locked and loaded

For lingering in my head

For appearing out of thin air

Who made you the ruler?

You're the reason I bled

I sat by the water, crying to the shore

Desperate to gaze into those eyes again

But the sea told me there was so much more,

To live, to breath, to dream for

So I started walking and never looked back

I'm making moves, not playing chess

Games are for kids,

And your antics caused a mess

One day I'll drive away

Grateful for the memories made

And pleased you left me that day

That's right, I'm no longer afraid
