a try at a diff style...

I strung a string of love.. Between the earth and the rain.. Right through the wildest storms.. Not wanting to be tamed.. Right through your shivering heart.. I sang to you a pleading tune.. To open up your heart to me.. To let me mend your wounds. But when the night came sealed and dark.. I was still alone.. My heart is now an island .. That yearns through lonely nights.. I try to love you through this hell .. Like roses hold the wind in pain To let go their withered leaves. To let go their breath so hopelessly strained I try to hold you close.. As careful as a drop of dew.. For if I lose this fragile drop.. I will know I'm losing you.

It is soooo good to see your writing.
This is awesome Erica.
Never fear trying something new.
What comes out of you is always going to be beautiful.
Not a doubt in my mind.
