Nope, not the one that comes to mind,
Since it's more common than you'd think,
But I won't leave obvious behind,
Not when I am on the brink.
You walk in beauty, night and day;
No need for time nor reason;
I know I need for you to stay;
Through each and every season.
You may be dark or maybe bright,
You may bring smile or curse my frown,
But together we can bring the light,
Never alone with you aroun'.
Good writers borrow from others,
Great steal from them outright,
So when it comes to distant lovers,
Who are stuck far out of sight;
There is no hard and fast rule,
No dictate from up above,
Declaring what may be a tool,
For showing another love.
Pen to paper, finger to key,
Each stroke taken to ensure,
That distance keeping us from free,
Yet feelings can endure.
No way in hell, this must be jest,
Even if I never stopped tryin'
There is no way that I could best,
A poet like Lord Byron.
