"Things that are most important for us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity." ••Ludwig Wittgenstein

 Oceans

Waiting and watchful
the hours slither by.
The loneliness, the pain.
You watch as I cry

Hold me, No don’t
Watch me waste away
Dark as night
Then Painful as day

Coldness, Alone
Fading in the depths
Crying, I hurt
Sadness, you wept

Nightfall, midnight
Not here anymore
Fleeting, gone
I’ve drifted from the shore
