When dawn struck the petals of her beautiful flowerbed Her eyes would glow A sweet amber glow That stopped the rapid flow Of the cursed river of yore That flooded my unstable floor
Her happiness stuck to the roots And her soul blossomed with the petals Oh I love this woman More than every petal Of every flower That fell upon the flowerbed She cherished more then life
Then as she bloomed so did a lump A lump that grew in her ovaries That sent pain to my heart Took my will to be strong And ripped it apart There was no cure We both were fragile in our days So we wept with the dew that fell from the roses and the white lilies They cried while they wilted too
As we cuddled by the cold fire In our final hour When trying to be strong Was our only power You looked me in my eyes Searching for hope Searching for a hope I have not found myself and said "Don't let my garden die like me For I am that garden I am the dawn that sparkles on the petals Please don't let the dawn become the darkness we are in now"
I look into her eyes as they slip on the efforts of staying up for my answer A blank stare That stares at nothing But she listens all the same "You my beautiful rose will never die"
She smiles as she falls into a deep sleep Saying a goodbye that will not be said forever I kiss her forehead and whisper "I will see you in the morning"
I wake up before dawn The trees were still sleeping The flowers slowly dying The moon still peeping I bring out my rose and dig into her flowerbed By the roses and white lillies Then put her into the ground She is still smiling My wife has met peace And I have met true love Together will never wilt I cover her in a mound of dirt And wait for my wife to shine
As the sun began to be reborn My wife was still gone Gone like the moment when she said goodbye I begin to curse my faith I ask the question why Why me Why did she have to go I aim my wraith to my creator Why... I bow my head in greif Letting my tears fall upon a closed morning glory That was not there before It begins to open I smile and say "Good morning my love"
