There Is One In Love With Her

There is sadness in her memory; How appropriate the rain-- So she turns her mind to wandering Gazing blankly through the pane. So cold and gray the winter's day As she clears away the frost-- Recalling, though reluctantly, The love that she has lost. What of the spring she contemplates Through a cold and icy view-- What of the sun and wildflowers And the happiness she knew? But her vision, clouded by the mist, Is inadequate to see-- The gentle man who bleeds for her... And that was always, me. Get Creative Poetry Contest Sponsor: Craig Cornish 05/20/14
