Stroll at Sunset

The water doesn't ruin any of my painful memory,
of dragging sticks across the sand while walking by the sea,
of sunshine, rain, all clouded pain; the story stays the same.
The moon had broke my heart of glass, alas!  I was to blame!
My lips pressed into shards of glass as dirt clung to my face;
I turned a leaf out on the tiles but missed my hiding place.
Your bracelet clung my wrist just like a leaf the wet concrete;
I hugged you like a teddy bear, but I could not compete.
A cloud above my rain cap splatters all my tears like ink,
I could have been...what could have been...now all I do is think.
The water doesn't ruin any of my painful memory,
but still I stroll the seashore, throwing branches in the sea.

Author notes

I used all the words in the word bank, incorporated the title prompt, and created a silhouette, which is a shadow filled outline of something. I still think it's crap, but there it is.

    Wow, this one is almost personal (to me).

    I think 'I hugged you like a teddy bear, but I could not compete.' is such an amazing line.

    Love the ending. I like that you said the 'water doesn't ruin'.. as though, even though it's painful, the memory is still beautiful (I don't think beautiful is the right word, but I can't be bothered to think).

    Dinner time, and I'd like to compliment this some more.

    it is not crap it's good, and just the fact that you incorporated every prompt in one poem, is really amazing. I think you could do really well. so good luck to you.

      Thanks very much, I didn't really intend that the poem was crap, but rather the situation...still, I didn't like the poem a whole lot either, but thank you again.
