I was listening to a song by Marie Fredrickson lead singer for the Swedish band ROXETTE, the song was "Spending My Time", a solo amazing heart breaking performance with piano.. For some strange reason I started writing "Walking On Water". It took about 15 mins to write and is autobiographical..

Marie Frederickson battle brain cancer for almost twenty years. She kept performing until the end.

Walk on Water I was a tear drop in your ocean I was a ship wreck in your sea And now you won't even…. talk to me Now you're walking on water just to walk away from me. I'm holding a picture of you and its slowly fading ….A…way, I warned you about Katie and Pete kissing yeah kissing! Right In front of me! So, you killed the messenger And the mess..en..ger was me. Now you're walking on water just to walk away from me. I was a tear drop in your ocean Another shipwreck drowning in your sea. I’m holding a picture of you its slowly fading from me. I'm sitting here just dying Dying all alone. I'm painting a picture of you but I can't remember the color of your eyes. Are they green, hazel or blue. So, in December I'm going for A long walk in the mountain snow And I'm never coming back to you. I was a tear drop in your ocean A shipwreck in the sea. So you're still walking on water to walk away from me (c) London F. BuSS. 2024

Let that wrinkling water evaporate and condense into flowing heart-mind rain of a healing self-upliftment mirror to look in and see that beautiful gift of God reflecting back to thee. One, London. Peace and Love.

We have all gone through heartbreak. You took me on that same journey. Very true writing. Love the emotions and rhyme.

I have leart its best not to say anything. It usually backfires on you. I remember seeing my mam kissing another man it was horrible and was told not to tell no one. I never told no one. She later left home divorced my dad and married him The truth always comes out in the end.
