Click hereBy the water's rippled edge,
"I Love You," I should have said.
I should have held you 'Oh' so close.
While the water beat the Dock's posts.
But my thoughts were chained by Pride,
I walked away and I know you cried.
The Water's swells raged from a storm,
Dark clouds circled and began to form.
I felt the rip go through my chest,
realizing my life was such a mess.
I turned to see your 'Smiling' face,
I felt my blood boil and race.
Pelting rain thus began
soaked up by the shoreline sand.
A wave goodbye from your hand,
Down your cheek the water ran.
Thunder cracked and lightening flashed,
I turned my head and away I dashed.
I should have said "Goodbye" that day,
I left you standing in a stormy way.

Something magical in the words, "I left you standing in a stormy way..." What poignancy, and tenderness filled with palpable regret.
Im not a fan of rhymes,and is more of a rhyme than real poetry, but this is catchy, keep working, you show great promise..just remember the difference between rhymes and poetry. Its like apples and oranges, two differnt things
