The Heart or the Rose

The Heart or the Rose

A Poem by Renette Hollow

I don't know what I should do
I don't know how to face you
When all I feel is betrayal and pain 
I'm losing all of my control again
My world is slipping through my fingers
And this empty feeling still lingers
No one can fill this hole in my heart
This is what I was frightened of from the start. 

You said you would always be there
But I think now you don't care
For you left me here, alone and lost
I don't feel like it's worth the cost
Nearly six months I spent by your side
Now you're gone, I'd rather I had died
Having lost you the way I did
Was there anything I could have said? 

I don't feel like drawing breath any longer
When this feeling of depression grows stronger
And I don't know if I want the Heart or the Rose 
I don't know if it was the right thing I chose
I want to turn Time's clock backwards
Back before my heart was nothing but shards
Back to when I was safe in your embrace
But you're leaving now, should I give chase? 

Everything's falling apart because of me
And I'm in such pain now, don't you see
I can't live without your love, without you
How could you tell me you love me, too
When you're about to tell her yes
I know that I made everything a mess
But please, please, I'm begging you, 
Say that you want to me with me, too.
