Can't Seem
--
As the wind blows over the sea
carrying whispers of your voice
that trail through my hair
like a lovers caress,
I look out upon the gray waves
and listen to the gulls cry.
My white dress catches around my knees
and the ocean spray is cold against my cheeks.
I want to go away from this place,
but I cant seem to move.
Hot tears burn my skin
and I lick them up and they taste
just like the frothy ocean.
I try to smile;
At the cold
At my tears
And their bitter taste
At my own weakness;
Somehow, I only end up crying harder.
I need hope, but it is elusive,
like some tattered sea bird
fluttering upon the horizon
where the water and sky meet
in a line of steely silver.
There is no human voice here,
no caress, no familiarity.
Only the broken fragments
of forgotten memories
out of the corner of my eye.

Description:
In which I'm feeling home sick while at "home" [i.e. I miss the ocean]. I'm not emo.

- Very good, it's obvious that you know what you're talking about in the poem, and you made a somewhat cliche topic enjoyable. razz 5 out of 5.
