Pebble In The Sand Poem by Jeremy Farmer

I'm not yours, I do not belong to you
I can not be found as I am not lost
Even though our stars are destined to cross
Our love will shine in a different hew
No red stained rose can declare my heart true
As over your tears my lips gently gloss
Absorbing your pain like riverside moss
Such tenderness of love is mine to do
But my soul will not be still in your hand
For love will never pierce my heart of stone
Not in the ways that any can understand
Although I'm beside you I am alone
Like a pebble amid the grains of sand
The candle that burns to guide you back home
