A/N: I was looking at this picture:

And I wrote a poem about it!









Swimming Lessons



Intense sobbing fills the hall

Of a celebration scene

A gentle kiss was all he had

To tell her what she means

The fact that simply being there

Is everything to him

The fact that in her scarlet hair

He wishes he could swim

To drown slowly in her eyes

And never let her go

Now that's all he'll ever think

And she'll never get to know

He didn't have the faintest clue

Of the tragedy that fell

Into his life, consumed his heart

And spun its deadly spell

Her final wish was to let him know

That their love would never die

To tell their story and hence to show

Some tears are worth a cry

-Melanie
