Precious stone that holds the light of oceans
Trapped inside your gaze I found the sea
Waves of silence crashing through the canyon
Where your memory carved a home in me
Surges of longing pull me to the surface
Breaking through the stillness of my chest
Every current returns with something heavier
Something beautiful I must confess
Drifting through the corridors of absence
Finding footprints in the ocean sand
Every step you took has left an imprint
Every shore remembers where you stand
I am empty but I hold your likeness
Carved in depths where no one else can reach
I am vast and I am filled with nothing
But the echo of your gentle speech
Precious stone that holds the weight of waiting
I would break before I let you go
Every wave that crashes through my center
Only teaches me to love you so
Anchors of devotion keep me grounded
While the waters rise and fall around
I remain the keeper of your secrets
Every treasure in your depths I found
Now the waters settle into rhythm
Carrying you back to where I stand
I remain the vessel of your memory
Empty hands still holding what we planned
