Another Tear In the Wishing Well

Another tear in the wishing well. By Anthony Grider 8/6/1994

I went to the wishing well., 
Wishing you were here with me., 
Without you been a living hell., 
Broke heart no one can see. 
O Throw in the penny, O waiting for you., 
Waiting for my wish to come true.

Shadered dreams O nothing happened when the penny fell., 
O Just another tear in the wishing well. 
O tears in the wishing well. 
My heart broken nothing else to tell., 
O Nothing happened when the penny fell., 
O just another tear in the wishing well. 
O another tear in the wishing well.

Gota find a leprechaun., 
A magic spell., 
Gota find a magic wand., 
No luck at the wishing well. 
Gota have another day with you., 
Gota find away for my wish to come true.

My heart was broken no one could tell., 
O When nothing happened when the penny fell., 
O Just another tear in the wishing well. 
O tears in the wishing well.
Nothing happened when the penny fell., 
Broken hearted no one could tell., 
O Just another tear in the wishing well. 
O tears in the wishing well.

When I lost you, O I lost my soul., 
What can I do, O to complete my goal. 
Your death killed my deep within., 
O I come to this wishing well again and again.

Broken hearted no one could tell., 
O Nothing happened when the penny fell., 
O Just another tear in the wishing well. 
O Tears in the wishing well. 
O Nothing happened when the penny fell., 
So broken hearted no one could tell., 
O Just another tear in the wishing well. 
O Tears in the wishing well.

Thank you, I have more poems and have tried to put them on here but for some reason I can't. I don't have any income right now so I can't pay any kind of a members fee. Maybe one day I'll get back on my feet and then be able to, but not right now. Glad you enjoyed it, if I can figure out how I'll put more on here.

You wrote this a long time ago, and it is a beautiful poem. It reads like a song, lyrics. And it has that certain rhythm to it as well. I like it.
