To the city with a necklace

 A city by the sea, they say it never sleeps

Once a part of me, now a distant memory

The sand between the feet, the moonlit walk

The waves rushing ashore, 

The wind that never rests, the smell of salt 

The hustle and the bustle, the unimaginable sounds

All consumed me, my soul and mind

In spite of the grit, the grime, the dirt

The spirit of the city calls

Like some restless void deep inside 

The city which taught me all 

The city which has my heart
