Sea of Same

Definitely a work in progress, but I really like it.

Standing tall, strong, tough

Looking forward, unblinking

 

She's never loved him more

She's never been more afraid

 

Everyone, like puppets

They follow every command

 

Yet, her eyes drawn to one

Among the sea of same

 

Everyone marching in step

Everything always the same

 

Left, left, left, right, left

Over and over, never ending

 

This is what his life is now

Does she still factor in?

 

Left, left, left, right, left

Over and over, never ending

 

His expression is unchanging

Everyone's face is the same

 

Left, left, left, right, left

Over and over, never ending

 

She just wants to hold him

She misses him, but he's so close

 

Left, left, left, right, left

Over and over, never ending

 

She wishes she could smile

But her face cannot change

 

Left, left, left, right, left

Over and over, never ending

 

He's not the only one

In that sea of same

 

Left, left, left, right, left

Over and over, never ending

 

She marches in step

Sneaking looks at him

 

Left, left, left, right, left

Over and over, never ending

 

This is what her life is now

And she knows he's a part of it

 

Left, left, left, right, left

Over and over, never ending

 

She's a part of that sea of same

And he's right there with her

Almost a lesson i prose writing really, delicate and moving.
