Constance La France Poet Narrative

A Woman's Heart Is a Deep Ocean

I lived a true Romeo and Juliet experience,
meeting my love at the art gallery one winter day.
      I loved art and writing poetry,
             he liked to draw pictures.
      My family was considered poor,
he was educated, rich, a traveler of the world.
My life was mindless with no future until I met him.
            One evening he took me to a movie,
      and that movie is forever meaningful to me.
The next day he gave me a blue heart-shaped pendant.
            My very own heart of the sea,
      I still wear it as a memory.

He believed in making each day count,
oh, our first kiss-  he whispered, trust me.
      I felt like I was flying, 
             and he said, I will never let go.
Then one winter day he crashed his car through ice,
a thousand knife's stab my heart forever and ever.
            If he could talk to me,
      in that dying breath-  he would say,
promise me, you will never give up, no matter what.
            I call his name a thousand times in dreams,
      and our love will go on and on and on.
