On the Shore

I am the careless whisper 

in the wind.

I am the way the waves crash 

on the shore.


I am the day 

that never seems to stop.

I am the one who always

 wishes for more.


You are the harsh waters 

of the sea.

You are the crunch of snow

 under my boot.


You will never be the good memories 

I hold in my heart.

You will never be the light 

at the end of the tunnel.


I will always be let free.


The author's comments:

I am a junior at Ridgway Area High School. I wrote this poem as an assignment for my creative writing class. In this poem, I chose to incorporate natural imagery to help convey a complex separation between two individuals.
