Surrender

My raggedy heart beats against the shores of my chest,

Beaten by the waves of you.

Tide in; tide out.

Riding the waves,

Waving for surrender.

But you don’t see the white.

Worn, torn, tired.

Steady and relentless in all the best and worst ways.

Never taking it easy on my raggedy heart.

I’ll be ready when you are.

Hope this finds you well,
