Dancing In The Waves

His eyes sparkled like a winters, crackling fire
His laugh brought smiles as wide as the Nile
His hugs were as safe as locks on a door
His love was as continuous as infinity
What I would do to have any of those back again.
His pain became too strong, his thoughts controlling him
He was fighting demons inside.
He was drowning in a pool so deep
No one could save him.
Hearts shattered; world’s broken
He left, with no goodbye
How to live without him?
Suddenly darkness shone,
Cause he was my light, the worlds light
And now he was gone.
But for him, I’ll keep dancing in the waves.
