The Last Petal FallsA Poem by Undying GloryIt's actually a song, that's why there's a chorus. About death and how I feel about it.
The Last Petal Falls
The moon is shining bright
As I stare into the
Blackened, deep,
Emptiness of night
But you’re not here now
As I think of how and
What I was
Supposed to have done
Just standing on the brink
Watching you from far below
And I know you’re up there
And you’re never coming back anymore
Standing on the edge of the grave
At the edge of the world
Where you lie now, my girl
How I wish I could have saved you
Pulled you back from the dead
Just another of the things spinning round
In my head
And here I am on the edge of the town
As the last petal comes falling down
Can’t control myself
As I spiral into the
Silent, bleakness,
Emptiness in my head
Now you’re just too far away
And I think of how and
Why did I
Do nothing to help you
Just watching from my room
Pray to God the pain will go away
As I watched you pass on
But no one was ever here to stay
Standing on the edge of the grave
At the edge of the world
Where you lie now, my girl
How I wish I could have saved you
Pulled you back from the dead
Just another of the things spinning round
In my head
And here I am on the edge of the town
As the last petal comes falling down
Remembering you again
Brings back all the things
That make us who we are
Through all the grief and disdain
Broken hearts and shattered rings
As we watched the falling stars
And as I’m clutching the rose in my hands
Standing on the edge of the grave
At the edge of the world
Where you lie now, my girl
How I wish I could have saved you
Pulled you back from the dead
Just another of the things spinning round
In my head
And here I am on the edge of the town
As the last petal comes falling down
As the last petal falls
