Aqua Love

She stands beside his grave,
Says goodbye forever
With the drop of a red rose
And a single tear,
Thinking life can�t go on,
Not now, not ever,
Not without him.
And for a while, it doesn�t.
The deep black hole of depression
Grows deeper still,
And farther into it she falls.
When it seems as though
Nothing or no one can help her,
Reality sets in.
If she doesn�t get help soon,
She�ll die of a broken heart.
Slowly but steadily
She climbs out of the ugly black hole,
Seeking love once again.
His sparkling blue eyes entrance her,
The love in them so evident
That she knows she is saved.
She gives him love in return,
Falling yet again into another hole,
This one an endless pool of aqua love.

And she lives again�
