Wet sand squishes between my toes <br />As I sit on this quiet beach on a winter morn <br />My stomach is squeamish more than anybody knows <br />Tears hit the ground like a raging storm <br /> <br />The foam of an ebb tide caresses my feet <br />Smoke gray clouds wave to me as they pass by <br />Seagulls hover as if I had something for them to eat <br />Or maybe they sense my turmoil and want to share a cry <br /> <br />I don’t ever want to fall in love again <br />Don’t want my heart ripped to pieces <br />I gave all I have to the very end <br />No matter the reasons the pain never ceases <br /> <br />A cold wind chills me to the bone <br />One lone morning star still shines <br />Why I have to spend this time alone <br />Tells me I couldn’t read between the lines <br /> <br />The waves, they roar with discontent <br />As if agreeing with the downside of my fate <br />In my heart I know I gave 100 per cent <br />Now I know the cost of losing my soul mate <br /> <br />I don’t ever want to fall in love again <br />From the fall I’ve taken I cannot rise <br />Though I get down on my knees every now and then <br />I hear the ocean calling and I’m not good at goodbyes<br /><br />Alfred Ramos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-want-to-fall-in-love-again/
