Red Ribbon

Red Ribbon

There's this red ribbon I have,

around my wrist it is tied.

You tied it there before you left.

Before you walked away and lied.

 

From this spot I can see it,

beside the dead bare tree.

Just one small gravestone,

everyone fails to see.

 

I feel this ribbon tighten,

as someone says your name.

My wrist feels heavier than stone,

and burns just like a flame.

 

Red slowly trickles onto my hand,

though it isn't the ribbon this time.

I will be with you once more,

as I hear midnight's last chime.

 

Today if someone looks,

beneath that tree, it's true,

they'll see a sight of wonder

they'll see me and you...♥

"I feel this ribbon tighten, as someone says your name. My wrist feels heavier than stone, and burns just like a flame"—the feeling expressed in this phrase is genuine and presented beautifully.

thank you

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
