The spoken word <br />Will often easily offend; <br />The active tongue <br />Can wound a friend; <br />An accident of speech <br />Can cause a terrible breach <br />Against once tender acquaintances. <br /> <br />When she walks away <br />With her memories of me <br />Moving like ghosts in her mind, <br />Will she think of me <br />As someone supportive and kind? <br />Or was there something I said <br />That I’ve forgotten <br />That injured her self-esteem? <br /> <br />To write the word love in the sand <br />On a rainbow summery day <br />Beside the spot where she stands <br />And have these emotions never washed away <br />By the tides of time and chance! <br /> <br />How will I express today <br />Her immense worth to my existence?<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-she-walks-away/
