Rusty
O my love come home to me
I need you more than the raging sea
the tides are crashing upon the shore
the light is on at my lonely door
​
O my love it’s been so long
I need to know, is something wrong
The selkies call late in the night
Their mournful wails give such a fright
​
O my love I will wait for you
Your tight embrace when the wait is through
Your simple smile that brightens the room
I just can’t accept your watery tomb
​
O my love I still gather shells
That are on the beach when the ocean swells
Collecting stones and rusty things
That sit on our nightstand with our wedding rings
​
O my love I will never lose hope
I read your old letters in order to cope
The ones you wrote when our love was new
So many years have passed without you
