London F. Buss Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

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.

 

 

 

 

Walking on Water

            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

Margaret Franceschini March 28, 2025 at 3:59 PM We have all gone through heartbreak. You took me on that same journey. Very true writing. Love the emotions and rhyme.
