Lovers Plea

Gentle touches have left my hand On borrowed time my morals stand My heart what once belonged to thee Has shattered and been left to bleed No tenderness and no more laughter Just sad and bitter life hereafter Come back and grace me with your time Allow my light to once more shine Wipe dry the tears that stain my soul Return the magic; warm the cold And if I’m not to love again Rather pass time with closest friend Please remember through eternity My best memories were made with thee Copyright © 2009 Lena “Lolita” Townsend

Yes, Lena, although I couldn't have said it nearly as well. How does the song go...you "found my letters and read each one out loud" for all to hear. This goes to my favorites...oh, and congratulations on your placement. Great poem.
