Ready Date: Tuesday, 1st February 2005 @ 02:04:01 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: sherring The tone of your words ring in my ear Repeated phrases still I hear "You're ready," you say As I begin to hug you "You're ready," I think As my heart continues to love you For years, I have ached to hear these words For months, I've bit down and fought my urge For days, I try to compose myself For hours, I try to control myself For minutes, I look into your eyes Four seconds Too late and to my surprise You kiss me. You're ready for the journey that lies. This poem is Copyright © sherring Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
