To you my greatest love
I send my heart in folded paper
with tear-smudged ink and aching pains
in all but words we are apart
my heart withering like a dying rose
immersed in fear
torturing pain prolonging each day
my spirit and I, we just lie in wait
your voice I miss
as I weep my grief; I can taste the salt of my tears
and with each passing day
I grow weaker with dismay
from my memory
as you my love, do fade
I’ve lost your vision and feel so afraid
invisible rope
tugging at my every tomorrow
even the birds weep with sorrow
your soul was my blanket
now I’m alone
don’t leave my heart condemned
your love that has been brutally seized
and I?
I’m a dying Rose
left to die un-stemmed.
