footprints left in sand
dreams just out of reach
tides wash them to sea
a soggy photograph
a moon that shines and laughs
stars that twinkle on
a disappearing song
mumbling in my sleep
dreams that will not keep
toss and turn again
till dawn finally creeps in
saltwater in my eyes
a face unrecognized
as I swim out to sea
my love drifts right past me

This is very good. I feel the pain of lost love in the lines.
