Bled Rose
Bled Rose
"Fragrance wafted where're she goes"
That's how you compared me to a rose...
You came and stopped by, some loveless day
And told me you were going away
To never come back ever at all
Weak and trembling I slipped to the floor.
A bruised fractured heart, a weeping soul
Nothing nor anyone could console
As my spirit began to decay
I started slowly fading away.
There I lay truly torn and broken
By the cruel words that were spoken
Just as the red rose when drained of life
My heart was empty, wallowing strife.
No hands my lifeless soul to caress
No words to comfort the hopelessness
A withered dry rose with anguished heart
Devastated that love’s torn apart.
Cold as the promise we would be wed
Is my poor heart now you've gone and left
No longer blooming, face turned to sun
The core of my world's fled, left me numb.
Knowing how much I loved you to bits
You gave me a rose, my parting gift
Losing you was for me just too much
Squeezing every drop of my life's blood.
I can't forget your face as you left
Your smile as you wished me all the best
Now the love has gone that quenched my thirst
A blood bled rose has dispersed from earth.
