Footprints

Washed away

I. (Yesterday)

I was here crying
Wanting to kiss your footprints
Washed by the sea waves

II. (Today)

I'm back to this shore
To trace your footprints once more
But they're gone away

This is truly beautiful. I love the way you used "yesterday" which could be just a day or many years. It feels like memories...sometimes painful, and then, time heals and erases even the memory of why.

Thank you so much for the kind words.

Fosters feelings of futility.
All we can really do is remember, mourn and move on--admittedly, far easier said than done.
Work that lingers, good poetess!

Thank you, Frank. Yes, it is easier said than done. It is really difficult to move on when it comes to heart issues. But once true love comes, you can move on.

well done...the tears wash away the footprints, but the memories leave their traces.
