The Rose That Never Dies

Apr 02, 2005 07:48

her face was blurred
inside the rain
but i swear she touched my hand
she looked at me
and smiled wide
i tried to understand
she can take this night
and bury me
beneath the starlit sky
and watch the sun
as it reanimates
together you and i
she told me this
my mind is yours
to fix or tear apart
but promise me
just this once
please dont break my heart
i felt her eyes
burn into mine
as i watched her slip away
if i had said
just three words
she'd live another day
the night had died
consumed by sun
the rain had swallowed down
i lay unscathed
a shaken mass
on top of sodden ground
i lift my head
just to see
what she left behind
a memory
and a flower stem
the rose that never dies
