A Short Ode To The Rose I Once Loved

You’re like a rose that’s never died

With your embrace, my heart you tied

Close to yours, with love so true

Here in my heart is only you...

The sun may shine, the winds may blow,

But you alone I won’t let go

My heart, it jumps, it throbs, it dies

When love so darling say goodbyes

A canvass plain, and torn, and white

I am for you to paint tonight

Whatever you might or might not say

My love for you will never go away

I know you won’t ever love me

And come what may, it still will be

A life without you I will live

But all my heart to you I’ll give

After all the tears I wept

After all your notes I kept

Now you leave me here

Alone and filled with fear

I grasp for you, but you’re not there

I cry for you, but you won’t care

I look on you, but you’re all bare

I think of you, but I won’t dare

The mere thought of you going away

Is enough for my mind to go astray

My grief is too much for now

Try as I might, it’s still there somehow

Slowly, I am being eaten

Where sorrows grow deep, I am hidden

From the radiance of our old love

Which, seemed so sweet, did come from above

And now I’m stuck, with sadness and pain,

Without even a single thing to gain

But loss and overwhelming heartache

No, not a little bit, I can take

Alas, here ends my but short ode

To lighten my ever heavy load

And to the rose that once I loved dearly,

Here’s to you, from all my heart, sincerely...

These all are from the my ever hurting heart, for the loss of my once treasured inspiration and shattered dreams... LonelyCupid 03-08-06
