TEXAS (it's all big)

lost and fragile
separated
this I'm destined
this I'm fated

I'm a bad taste
from your pain
to be quenched
with the rain

raindrops matter
mostly not so
as do our
reigning lives

take them from
my thirsting tongue
I'll no longer
will to thrive

please release me
into the air
so that you may
find me there

please contain me
into your past
so that you may
hope it lasts

each falling raindrop
from above
is a symbol
of my love

the tears are shed
they dry and reform
come to me now
I'll keep you warm

the past recycles
into anew
lets not forget dear
that I am you

one last word
one last goodbye
I see a raindrop
in your eye

Yea... thanks alot Walt, now I'm going to cry. Way to kill my good mood. No seriously, this was a well done poem. I liked it and you expressed feeling very well in it. Take care.

Walt~
Different from you - and very well-done.
I like this and, for whatever reason, free-falling seems to fit you nicely.
