As waves play peacefully on the river.
The wounds of battles past do heal
On this bitter-sweet night I shiver.
I see behind the clothes I left behind
I peeled them harshly off my skin.
No matter how much the pain seemed
I left behind the maddening din.
Who was once a part of me I loved
More than my own earthly existence,
Is tonight a distant memory blurred
Despite my heart's constant resistance.
The words are as harsh as always
Never the ones I sought and gave.
Never did the wagging tongues stop
Never did come the warm embrace.
But the pillars of strength did stand
The healers were out in full strength.
Every blow was matched by a blow
A blow of love that goes any length.
In this last lap of the last chapter
My body waddles through the sand.
Tonight, on this fateful night, I say
Accept, of peace, this solitary hand.
