I'm sitting on the sand,
Where the ocean
Is slowly touching the beach.
But who's touching me?
Not you,
Not anybody.
A sigh.
A little sigh is all I do.
It's the only sound
That gets out of me.
I can't talk.
I can't even cry.
I have no tears.
Not anymore.
I will cry no more.
A little quiet sigh
Is all I can give to a world.
And nothing more.
