If I put my tears
In a bucket
Sailed them out to sea
The bucket would
Bare  Down
Ship

Sinking
to
The Blue

A tear
For
Every
Wish, kiss and
Time   I     Said
"I    love     you."

Down, down, down

Fish won't pass it by
They know danger
Of Lasses Brine
It would join
The others

In The
Shipwrecked
Cemetery

Where pails
beckon
Algae
From
Long
Lost time

Your pain
Eating away
My memory

A graveyard of
Once loved
But no longer in heart

Creating
A rocky
Start

Pebbles will wash
Upon
The shore

With a rumble
A tumble
Sharp edges no more

One day.      FAR.    I  fear
I will  tred back to that
Place

Pick up a stone
Remembering
Your face

I will not shed
A
Tear

A smile will play
My lips
Instead

I might
Close my
Eyes

I might say
Your
Name

But now you
are just a fond
Memory

No longer sound
Makes  heart
Beat

Adding you instead
To my
Treasure chest

Knowing that you
Leaving
Was best
