    Sonnet I
    As my footprints linger on the wet sand
    Memories of the past haunt me today
    Peace lies in the black and white of dreamland
    You cannot be there, because love is gray
    As Brigantine acts as a barrier
    You used to protect me from life’s troubles
    Wishing on stars, I’m missing how we were
    I’m drowning, while no one checks for bubbles
    As the waves crash against the rocky beach
    Lost hope and loneliness are smacking me
    In the face - I turn away from love’s leech
    Loving you is dragging me out to sea
    As attention cravers head to the shore
    I don’t want to be lonely anymore.
