Atlantic Drift <br /> <br />I drift in the Atlantic <br />Frantic <br />Judging us harshly <br />Your poor smile falls and the salt burns my eyes <br />I forgot where we were for a while <br />But I know this time <br /> <br />I had forgotten who I was until I surfaced again <br />A new smile expands my veins <br />And is willing to take the time to walk <br />To listen <br />Even when it rains <br /> <br />She is in love with a man who is in love <br />And I bet those words fuel the games you love to play <br />You know the words to keep me pacing at that line you drew <br />You know secret words to trap your prey <br /> <br />How suddenly this verse turned about you <br />These are the last words I say <br />But I forgot them so quickly <br />As the new face returned my heart today <br />What was her name?<br /><br />Timmy Tubbs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/atlantic-drift/
