Be Like the Sand

Be Like the Sand

A Poem by Merle Van Dee
"

They say to be like the water but I've always been more like the sand..

"
Darling,
I've never been proud 
of the man I am:
tough & coarse like sand.

Stuck in all the places 
you never wanted me to be,
the bar after last call's dark
or the sinner of your heart,
but you always came back again,
for the tide can't help 
but crash once more
& your skin always craved,
a rougher shore.
