The petals of a red rose dance in the soft wind,
As I walk down a trodden and dismal path
I recall my past with every step I take
My love... who got the last laugh?
Years ago, I soothed you
Years ago, I promised
Years ago, I held you
Years ago, I loved you
Years ago, I watched in anguish as you sighed your last breath
I held you in my arms and you lay there, stiff and dead
A nightmare that became a reality, something I hoped would never come to pass
Because it filled my very veins with a leaden dread, cold and steadfast
Years ago, I fought against my heartfelt love for you
Never thought I would have to bid you adieu
And I force my feet to move
Nothing else to lose
I'll never be the same now that you're gone
Already feel cold, alone, and withdrawn
Don't watch over me now, not like this
'Cause I can still feel your kiss... your weak and bloody lips
Kneeling, facing your gravestone
A rose clutched in my hand
Its petals black and slowly wilting
A reminder of what I once had
I set it down gently, but the petals crumbled to ash
I whisper a simple: "I love you"
But you can't hear me, can you?
Years ago, I held you close
Years ago, I prayed
You were so very dear to me
And I'll still love you, come what may
Sat there for hours, staring ahead
My eyes bloodshot and wistful
With a bittersweet smile, I stand up and walk away
I'll still love you, come what may

- Description: "I set it down gently, but the petals crumbled to ash..." I think these would make some pretty nice lyrics... or a poem. xD I wrote it on a whim, and really love it. I hope you enjoy reading it!~
