Distance (Triolet)

by Melissa S. Masucci   Jun 20, 2006


I miss you more than words can say,
Love you more than my heart could show.
Can't a visit last one more day?
I miss you more than words can say.
How can you stand living this way,
With pain I never hoped to know.
I miss you more than words can say,
Love you more than my heart could show.

    Melissa -- This was great! I wasn`t familiar with triolets until I read your little definition of them. This was great, it held a lot of emotion. Great job!
    5/5
