a.rose.for.you

I stand in this cemetery,

In front of your lonely grave.

In my hand I hold a red rose,

A rose for you.

It's okay to cry today,

To let the pain engulf me.

It's alright to reminisce,

To think about you.

I wonder if you can hear my thoughts,

If you're watching me from above.

I wonder whether you can feel my pain,

To feel my heart aching all over again.

Now tell me something,

Why did you leave?

If you were still here,

Would I still be your best friend?

What if I had the power,

To bring you back...

Would you allow me to use my power?

To let you live again?

The tears won't stop flowing now,

The pain is too great.

My heart is dying again,

It's being stabbed again and again.

Why did god have to take you from me?

Why you of all people?

How come I still don't know why,

Or how you're gone?

Why am I stuck in this life,

When you're no longer with me?

Why was my childhood taken away from me?

Why did a child have to feel such pain?

I resent life,

I despise it.

Oh how it's unfair,

How it is cruel.

I can't stand this anymore,

I shall walk away.

But first, upon your grave I place a red rose,

Why a red rose?

Because you were my first love.

sweet poem!

You have create a beautiful and sad poem. Always hard to understand death especially when you are young. Young people support to live forever. I like how you used the rose to represent the first love. Thank you for the excellent poem.

This was a really sad poem. I understand how you feel about losing someone. I have lost many people that I have loved in the past. This poem is strong and beautiful. I feel bad that you lost this person because I can tell you truly did love them. Thanks for sharing. :)
