the sea that resides in my soul
was never meant to be snow
just as I , in my weakest moment
never
not even once
intended to let you go
though its frothy white waves
beckon to me
'Tell Him'
forgive me I was wrong
as love is but a promise of
such incredible warmth
too unexpectedly set free
my need of you was and still is
far greater now
than any prior need I merely thought
I had
to be correct in any such way of thinking
my heart can hardly stand to beat alone
anymore
lost is she without your touch
watch me carefully now
as I murder the last of my pride before you
then listen to my heart
as it bleeds out my ardent love for you
all over this lovely book's page
must I beg
if so
so be it
then note that I shall do and as gracefully
as I know how
how would you like me to begin?
perhaps with
please__________________!
I was such a__________________.
Can you ever____________________?
How can I make it____________________?
you are my_________________________.
Hows that for a start? ................
