9-Letters

How I wish I could make you see
The thought in my head, endless as the sea
How I wish I could make you understand
Without you I cannot stand
How I wish I could make it easy
To care for this wretch, silly.

I could spend a thousand years
Shed my very last tears
Yet this I cannot change nor end
For this is the unseen bend
That last corner before home
The stone that crushed Rome.

You are the straw that broke 
Crushed an empire in a single stroke
The one I cannot forget
For that I have no regret
We are the sea and the moon
Bonded, together the only path to boon.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
