A Message For Adrienne

I tried so hard to be her day

But the night has already taken me away

Shedding dreams under the maple tree

Where I carved your name

Nothing left, not even time

Straight reads the line

His life had reached the end

Wanting only to be loved by adrienne

Letters explained his grief

But she would never read

His wrists would bleed

But she would never see

So he took his life at the age of 23

And she had always loved him

Be he would never know

For she covered her love

Like stars cover the sky

Hiding her heart

Fearing what he would find inside

Years took her away

A widow she remained

Holding him deep inside

Wishing she too would die

Time favors no one and if we wait

We too can fall in love

A second too late
