Underneath my desk lies my torn up plan
Time after time I feel cold from your touch
And whenever you jump, it hurts too much

Every cloud that drifts across the sky
I skip a bronze coin over the water's eye
Say a wish for the gem that sets over it's lashes
And below the diamonds that sound like crashes

To turn to your door would take a soul of strength
Something I do not have my dear, in length
One wave goodbye, and you're lying in the dirt
Is it my fault you're too weak to stop the burn?

I don't think so Gracie
So stop shouting please
I'm not going to save you
But I will respect you still

I'm by the church garden
Hearing black birds rave
Standing with quivering hands
Putting one rose on your grave [comments] => 2 [counter] => 173 [topic] => 2 [informant] => crookedpoet09 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

What really got me was to flow and the rhyme might be one and the same I don't know
great write. Some of the lines confused me but lately that's not hard to do.
anyway I enjoyed reading it
hope to read more soon
