I saw you standing against the ocean
I was jealous of the sun on your skin
A stubborn resolve met constant motion
My breath was silenced by a dropping pin
So you flew away, aloof and unchanged
O'er the sea, singing to constellations
I was consumed and became quite deranged
My words were lost within their translations
I gathered my head and stumbled away
Content to lie in your Grace for an hour
Now I hold back all the things I would say
Lest you slay me with your curious power
Ironic that I thought myself Hamlet
For I was Ophelia when we met

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)
