Almost a sonnet

sorry i'm posting a few, but i've been away for a while. Feedback would be much appreciated right now, in a rut from lack of routine and too much time to daydream.

He smiled like a rosebud
and she wept like a thorn
but her tears pierced the wrong heart.

All she does now is sit by the river,
never dipping less than a toe, waiting
for a riptide to wash away her
melancholy. Watching the
willows reach for the glassy surface
they seem to creek, and moan, and
ache for it.

Neither girl nor tree comes close
enough to get it.

"never dipping less than a toe"

Did you mean to say "never dipping MORE than a toe"? I think that would have worked better. 
 
Otherwise, I enjoy reading your stuff - all dreamy and lovelorn. Don't stop writing.
