You reminded me so much of a rose Such elegance did you pose Beautiful, lush, and full of surprise How I wish I had known about your demise Don't be silly, not that of thine But the one you had in mind For me, of course, what were you thinking Now I am the ship that's slowly sinking Time has passed, and now I'm gone You sit there quietly, oh-so fond and then that's when it came Swift and sudden as the rain The vicious guilt of what you had done and now it's you that has to run No matter how far or fast you go You will never escape your vengeful foe A wilted rose you have become Did you picture me so dumb I've come back to haunt you from the grave Do you have what it takes to stand tall and brave The answer is no So far away you shall go The life of a rose is not forever or were you too busy to remember Your time has finally come to an end Now you make the perpetual descent Into the confinement where you belong Without a soul to accompany you along Your story was a great one, but sad to be told And there it sits sullenly for time to behold
