The White Sanded Beaches of my Heartache has glistening shells within.
The sharp separated pieces that now cut my feet now bleed into the ocean of my tears once held the pearls of pink innocence. But now that innocence is gone and the pain is in its spot.
But when the rain begins to pour, and the tears rapidly take over my sight of the world around me, I slowly see your face. The salty ocean of my tears conducts the roar of all my fears. The deep sneer of the cannibal within. The claws of the beats tearing into my heart and bleeding my pain.
But through all the pain somehow you make the sun shine and the sharp shells stop cutting my feet.
So if you love me, will you please sit with me on the White Sanded Beach of my Heartache. Kiss the tears of my dread into my skin, make the pain sway away in a canopy of death into the soil beneath our feet, make the waves come to a still as you smile into my heart.
So please sit with me on the White Sanded Beach of my Heartache for you are the only one who can calm the cannibal within my heart. For you are the only one who pulls the claws out of my heart. For you are the only one who can cause the frown upon my face to collapse and recreate itself into a brightening smile.
