Lenora - Scavenge

Tide pools, I come alive
Kaleidoscopes printed in the sand
Curiosity engrained between our hands

Fragments of shells, fractals of snails
Cling to the rocks, hoping to not plummet to the waves
Get cast away

The waves come with the heat
In and out, in in and out of restless sleep
Scout for sea glass like this is your last chance
Like the tide won’t come and wash it away
What does it all matter, anyway?
I still think about you to this day

Blue skies, trapped under your eyes
Loneliness printed in my hand
Innocеnce ingrained in a false romancе

Fragments of the thought
Fractals of someone I’m not
Cling to your cries, not knowing
They were disguising your lies
I got cast away

The waves come with the heat
In and out in in and out of restless sleep
Scout for sea glass like this is our last chance
Like the tide won’t come and wash it away
What does it all matter, anyway?
I still think about you to this day
I’m still trying to understand
So I scavenge
Periwinkle, barnacle, sea glass, out cast
I still regret ever trying to make amends
I scavenge
Folded papers, longing lingers, silent dreamer
I want revenge, but I can’t
So I scavenge

The waves come with the heat
In and out of restless sleep
Scout for sea glass like this is your last chance
Like the tide won’t come and wash it away
What does it all matter, anyway?
I still think about you to every day

And I’m not hurting like I was hurting back then
But I feel it every now and again
I scavenge
