When... Poem by Shelly Price

When tears never fall,
and birds never fly.
When winter never ends,
and children never cry.

When the nights are not dark,
and the days are not light.
When forever finally comes,
and my eyes have no sight.

When my ears can't hear,
and the grass never grows.
When silence is too loud,
and a genius doesn't know.

When the wind never blows,
and the rain is never wet.
When thunder can't be heard,
and the sun refuses to set.

When pain does not hurt,
and enemies never fight.
When rainbows have no color,
and wrong seems so right.

When all these things finally happen,
when they finally do come true.
That's when I will finally say...
I'm no longer in love with you.




To E.M....always in my heart! !
