Only A Rose
Only a rose
lost in the storm of your eyes
she waits
on misty mountaintops
for you to say goodbye
Only a rose
torn apart in a fit of anger
from the inside out
now she waits
for you to tame her
Only a rose
depending on your subtle breath
to keep her
happy, warm, alive
at least until her death
Only a rose
you handed to another flower
oh the garden
it's a shadow cast this hour
Only a rose
one last and lonely sigh
reaching out
for sunlight
before her last goodbye
Back
