Dead Rose

 

You were once beautiful like a rose

But eventually you lost your soul

Time made you pay its price

And your petals went cold like ice

 

Your proud stalk wilted and died

The feelings I once felt for you I now hide

Because you my dear, were once beautiful

That is until the day you chose to die

 

There was a time when I would do anything for you

Now I am lost with no idea what to do

You possessed incomparable beauty

You hair, your skin, your features were so lovely

 

Then your frail little body wilted in my arms

I had vowed to protect you from any harm

Until you chose to die and leave me

Cold, hurt, desperate, and lonely

 

Now every day I go to your grave

And every day I leave the same

Blood red roses

And I watch as they too die and leave me

Just as you left me
