Blackbeak Bluff love is a naked shadow

@Kharog sorry this took ages to put up

maul sleeps soundly most nights
but not tonight
he tosses and turns
and turns
as the waves turn besides him

he can't stop his mind from going back
and tries to shut out
the what ifs and the how comes
how come it hadn't worked
how come it ended like this
how come he wasn't good enough

he wishes he could evict her from his thoughts
she wanders there as carelessly as she did in life
traipsing, treading, trespassing
stealing from him sorrow earned

he thinks good riddance and knows it is a lie

at least the sea was constant
maul gave up sleeping for the night
and drifts down the beach
as a bright silver moon illuminates the shore
and sends his shadow long before him
