Fresh Start

An ocean of emptiness pounding blank beaches-
empty thundering mocking the beating of my heart.
The bitter salt tang clouds the air with loss and longing,
each breath brings back memories of you.
I exhale, they disappear.
All you are to me is wiped away by the ever-present wind,
scouring my mind clean.
The waves wash away all traces,
leaving nothing but blank beaches,
empty pages for a new future.
