Please Understand

a poem by thenorm

My face was like a book

That you read for pleasure.

I was like a gem,

Priceless was the treasure.

As the crow flies,

As the song dies,

As the lover lies,

Saying, "Please understand."

Hours pass and day by day,

My innocence slowly slipping away,

As bittersweet mem’ries erode my face,

I know that I will never erase

"Please understand."
