I Was Once Yours Poem by James McLain

Yes I was once yours, so deep lost in you,
Could it not be, nothing's meant to last
The light from the moon when seen at noon,
Each wave that is seen different from the last.

If I am to be, what you meant to me,
A perfect snug fit like a stone in a ring
From afar I have watched a bush and a tree,
Hope made of hope a hand full of leaves.

If I fall any deeper, as deep as the sea,
I shan't hold out, I shan't even breath
Swept in by the tide, swept back out to the sea,
You were to me deaf, to the sound of my heart.
