Analysis of A thousand quotes
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
A thousand quotes couldn't describe you.
Like blades of grass whispering in the wind how wrong I am about you today.
What can I do but say it anyway and hope the meaning is in the ball park of loving truth while you sleep uncouth and oblivious to my struggle. Why then box you into a poem when you should be running free in that field of dreams.
I keep asking myself is it good enough to stop but it never is is it? Because you are indescribable yet stopable and fragile. You are a shattering reflection of the butterfly in the shiny new expensive bomb. You are OMG.
