Fill Me Up
Fill Me Up
Left behind
On the beach
That chilly fall day
An empty shell
I felt full
I thought life was good
Even just for a few hours
The beginning of the end
This was the climax
Left behind in an empty shell
Never to be returned
Only to return to the sea
When I thought you
Would return to me
Instead tossed around
Back to the shore
Back to the sea
Never sure how long it would be
Pieces broken off
On the journey
New things attached
Life started to grow
Once I finally let go
The shell still broken
Still empty
Found a new place in between some rocks
Safe and sound
Slowly filling up
Finding new growth
A new life
Filled to the brim
