I Wanted To Write You a Love Poem

I wanted to write you a love poem

But there's nothing I haven't said

The words of love have all been used

So I'll talk about us instead

I was nothing until you came along

And showed me what love was about

You planted the seeds of passion

Where loneliness used to sprout

I never noticed the lover's moon

Until I saw it in your eyes

You even stole the star's reflection

That lights the darkest skies

I used to dread the coming rain

'Til we danced to the beat of its drops

You'd hold me close, all night long

'Til nature's music stops

I wanted to write you a love poem

Before they lay you in the ground

I tried my best to say goodbye

But I couldn't make a sound

It's beautiful, and even though you wright things in past tense, we don't realize that you are writing about the past until you are trying to say goodbye. I love this. It's absolutely beautiful :) and I love how you started out with the desire to write her a love poem and then end it with the same though.

wow ending was completely unexpected... Good job! I enjoyed it!

[McNamara]

The ending was not expected, other aspects of the poem become all the more profound considering it. It flows wonderfully and suddenly i felt (reading as someone considering the work of a writer whose work I'd never read before) certain words that may have seemed merely pleasant suddenly become imperative to what becomes a touching story.

Absolutely beautiful.

I teared up a little bit. This is wonderful, I added it to my favorites!
