On Bended Knee

  

As I kneel before you

I look around and think

to seventeen years back

when we stood against the world

not listening to the gossip and talk.

When people are jealous

they can be cruel,

we just stuck to our guns

knowing it was right.

 

I breathe a sigh

and think of those nights

looking up to the stars

talking about how they are

very much like our dreams,

far off in the distance

but how we could still can see them.

 

Now I on my knee before you

with this beautiful bouquet

to show you how much you mean to me.

I stare into a dark gray tombstone

now facing the world alone

with the only dreams left

being memories of you.

This is so sad. I have tears running down my cheeks . As I read your words it brings to mind the pain I felt when I lost loved ones. You have written about that pain in such a beautiful way by remembering the good times. I love this so much.

Oh Cowboy, this is so sadly beautiful... You brought me to tears, the loniless just cries out "I stare into a dark gray tombstone, now facing the world alone, with the only dreams left, being memories of you" this is so... romantic yet sad. It flowed so smoothly and your imagery was perfect. I could just see this before me. What a wonderful write and even though sad, it was a wonderful read as well. You make my heart ache...
