The ebb tide caresses the sandy shoreline
Then like a lover beats a hasty retreat
The Ocean is soothing and therapeutic
It’s her haven when she senses defeat
Defeat because she has no answers
And each day life is passing her by
When her life becomes so unbearable
She comes down to the Ocean to cry
Wearing faded blue jeans and sneakers
With her chin resting upon her knees
She sits on the hull of an upturned boat
And faces into the cool Ocean breeze
The moon turns her tears to pearl drops
As they first flow then fall from her face
It also gives her face an angelic aura
And her beauty its moonbeams embrace
All she desires is love and happiness
This really isn’t that much to ask
I call upon Neptune god of the Ocean
Please perform this simple task
Bring forth her modern day Romeo
Let him rise up out of the Sea
To become her chivalrous Sir Galahad
Slay her demons and set her free

Generic title, generic overused rhyme, but decent story line.
Thanks for trying,
