oh, wilmington

how you rip out my heart
you steal my peace and serenity
holding them captive
hostages for a plea
a plea to return to your warm salty breeze
a place of comfort
of laughter
of family
of fun
simple and beautiful
where i long to be

i've tasted it
now teasing
dangling in front of my eyes
longing for the day
yearning for its feel

oh, to sink in your character
enveloped by your sand...
