I will never forgive.

The Sea smiles, mockingly, slow
Somewhere buried in its depths,
Lies a forgotten love
The waves beg for forgiveness
Their repentance, insincere
Their entreaty a shocking blow

The frothy waves had beckoned
Tantalisingly , willed us in
I was spared, or was I?
His coffin, the sea bed had become
My wails went unheard
His gasps, I can still vividly hear

Now I stand by the shore
Daring the white monsters
Take me with you, at least try
My fury masks my heartache
For the dam once broken
Will drown me under its waves.
