I asked myself where this was going,
remembered the night where we promised
we were like land and sea always next to each other,
meeting at the seashore

Sometimes my knuckles got white,
told me that we were right,
I was scared I wanted to hide,
didn't believe in perfection,
didn't know I didn't need to try.

A Christmas tree left on the floor,
no one to pick it up from the hall,
an angel rests on the side,
she never fell from grace,
she never tumbled out of sight,

sometimes you remind me of the doll,
I want to wrap you up in cotton wool,
still present yet distant,
i can smell you your still here,
like a christmas tree left on the floor,

somewhere here on the seashore.

A Christmas tree on the floor,
I asked myself where this was going,
remembered the night where we promised
we were like land and sea always next to each other,
meeting at the seashore

Sometimes my knuckles got white,
told me that we were right,
I was scared I wanted to hide,
didn't believe in perfection,
didn't know I didn't need to try.

A Christmas tree left on the floor,
no one to pick it up from the hall,
an angel rests on the side,
she never fell from grace,
she never tumbled out of sight,

sometimes you remind me of the doll,
I want to wrap you up in cotton wool,
still present yet distant,
i can smell you your still here,
like a christmas tree left on the floor,

somewhere here on the seashore.

This is an original analogy. I think that this makes this poem stand out and is worthy of a 5. I like seashores - well done, for turning one into something very meaningful, in a thought-provoking poem.
