Cold Stone

I lived a thousand years in the silence of your smile.

Would you let me love you?

Have you so quickly forgotten your life?

I gave you everything,

And it was not what you wanted.



What could be more true than this moment?

Where are you now?

I tried to write a poem for you,

But it shattered in my hand.

Only I saw your brown eyes turn green-

For a moment, when they reflected mine

And you were truly alive for the very first time.



Is cold stone the heart I fell asleep in?

"It's amazing...how you take your heart and turn it off" She always smelled like sugar. Hope she finds a flavor for her life.
