Like Footprints

Hey, so this summer has been SUPER busy, even though I don't have summer school or anything like that.  Either way, I haven't had time to update until now.  Below this I have put a poem that I recently composed.  I was inspired by a day at the beach earlier this week, when I saw everyone's footprints being instantly washed away by the ocean's waves, with no traces left behind.  I'd been itching to write about it since.

Like Footprints

Like footprints in the sand

Being washed away by the ocean's waves,

So you were washed out of my life.



Like peanut butter and jelly

Sticking together between slices of bread,

So we went together oh so perfectly.


Like raindrops and sunbeams,

Who are opposite yet form lovely rainbows,

So we were juxtaposed in the sky.



So now you're gone

And my heart grieves

Because I have lost more than just a friend



Like footprints in the sand

Being washed away by the ocean's waves,

So you were washed out of my life.



Only your print has not left my heart.
