let’s last forever

a poem by Grace Brown

i haven’t written for you in a while

and i sadly wonder why

 

maybe putting my feelings into words

doesn’t seem to satisfy

 

i’d rather whisper in your ear

and talk in between a kiss

 

why is it so hard to long for someone

you’ve never had to miss

 

in this pleasant dark abyss.

 

at night i’ll close my eyes and imagine

you are lying next to me

 

my head on your chest

and your hand on my crest

 

as i watch you gently sleep

 

then i open my eyes

and you’re gone from my sight

 

please watch as these dead roses bloom

 

beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

i know i’ll be holding you soon.
