Lonely Rose


http://abstract.desktopnexus.com/wallpaper/271642/
I myself stand alone,
In the field where her flowers use to grow.
Looking down at dirt patches,
Hearing sorrow filled words of passer-by’s,
Knowing full well why the others did cry.
As I stand where she too once had,
Standing where our lives remained spent,
I wilt as the petals once had,
I droop as my torments commence.
Take that of my dying last breaths,
Hold hands with those who need no regrets,
Give pity to men who fall slow,
Reach out, deep breath,
Let go the rose.
Hours longer, days of night,
Fire burns, that ice is bright.
Her hand holds cold,
Hear the beating of the lost and forgotten soul,
Hear the cart, come to take all.
As I myself stand alone,
Watching as others do fall slow,
I am living without regret,
Holding your dying breaths.
Look at me and you reflect,
Why you hold her petals spent,
I alone hold the rose,
As am I the walker,
Of the lonely road.
