Cry Me a River

Cry me a river Build me a bridge I cannot remember Which ditch I did dig I am here in the present Yet live in the past It’s all just a blur Moving so fast I have lived through the storm I have fell to my knees But yet I do not know The importance of these Send me a message Show me the light Take heed in my warning I live in the night Darkness is coming I am fading from sight The gate is now closing Now comes the fright I am lost and confused So poor and confused So beaten and broken With no end in sight Cry me a river Build me a bridge I cannot remember Which ditch I did dig

What happened to the happy girl of nature that was in your first entries? This is still a good poem though. I have a few suggestions to help with your meter. Check your e-mail. :-)
