Burning Waters



Talk about love;
A forever seemingly place,
We both had dreams,
Kept it all together,
Fought to pushing it through.

A gift of a gab;
That accompanied your appearance,
How I enjoyed it all,
Never did it strick my mind,
That it would all come to fall through.

A big gun you were;
It's all but a stop,
Time will surely teach us,
That good times should be appreciated,
All gone and lost,
Like it never happened.

Out of the way;
Waters stopped flowing.
