Emm 'N Ashe Lemons Poet Sonnet

For You - A

Frozen. Watching the grass strands swing and sway
Sun blistering up high; no thought in mind
How could this cruel world take my love away
Someone so beautiful peaceful and kind

I recall your loving laugh, your sweet smile
Your self-sacrifice for the ones you love
How you made everything in life worthwhile
Yearning to join you in the clouds above

Nostalgic smile, a tear, all in a flash
Staring at your grave, so scared, hands shaking
Knife in hand, across my wrists, a deep gash
Staring at your grave, dying, heart aching

Watching the blood stained grass strands swing and sway
Dead now, forever by your side, I lay
