All I can do is wonder.

It seeps in too late

When life’s seems settled

Everything changes suddenly

You lose control

You knew the answers

 But the questions are missing 

You fight it hard

But it gets to you regardless

When joys have lost their bloom and breath,

 and life itself is vapid, 

Why do I still feel the need to fight? 

Dripping slowly away the tides recede

And I stand alone.

I look down from the precipice that is my life

and wonder where the tides go.

 Will they return to fill my gaping soul?

All I can do is wait.

All I can do is wonder.
