Wave

It comes in waves

A tsunami, 100 feet tall 

Making landfall 

On the parched shore of my heart.

Filling it with love 

Slowly, steadily 

Enriching it, then drowning it 

Whirlwind of emotions

Swallowing everything in its wake

A distant memory, a happily-ever-after dream 

Reduced to rubble. 

Blinded, bruised, battered

Must have been my fault.

Again?

Again.

As the second wave gets ready,

I close my eyes

And face it all over, again.
