Failed Communication
You said last night it was over for you
Our relationship had lost its charm
You left a note on the desk by the door
Saying; it is best we not cause any harm
I called all our friends to see if they knew
Where you intended to go
But it was all a surprise and a shock to them
As they said that they didn’t know
Your clothes were still inside the closet
The car was parked near the door
I dressed and quickly left the house
Afraid I might see you no more
I followed the footprints I saw in the sand
It was early in the morn
The sun threw her golden mantle around
As a grand new day was born
Anger, then fear swelled in my mind
I thought you had forgiven me
The only footprints in the sand that morn
Were the ones that led out to the Sea
