Bittersweet Rose

~ know what you're thinking
this could be a love poem from me
this is no love poem
but this is a love story that went wrong
she was my everything
and i lost her...the love of my life
here's how it went ~

first time i saw her i couldn't avert my gaze from her
ever so beautiful and looking ever so pure
angel-like dressed in white looking for something more
me i was dressed in black with a tainted heart feeling sore
she was known for her good deeds
her family believed in god and had creed
yet despite this their red headed daughter looked lost
so i decided to take my chance and i asked for a dance
was ready for rejection but she said yes
we danced all night and had the time of our lives
blossoming love and it felt so right
every minute or every single day
loved her in every possible way
damn reminiscing so much hear my lonely words say...

i miss you i wish i could see you again
you help me breathe
the one and only i always dream of
still need you by the beat of my bleeding heart
i can't believe we are apart
feeling so much pain so promise me now
that you will never leave me again

~ miss her hand embracing mine
everything seemed perfect you know
yet we all know perfection never lasts
even her friends and family damn it
let me explain further how it all went down ~

weekends was our time so i went to her house on saturday
my girl wasn't there but her parents asked me in as they needed their say
straight to the point they said i won't amount to anything
and that i would never be good enough to love her
also if i didn't agree to leave her they would make their daughter suffer
so i left stressed with decisions on my mind
how can i decide?...how can i find?
just as i turned the corner and to my surprise
i saw the love of my life on her knees crying
screaming out that her friends don't want to know her cos of me
i told her not to worry despite how much i loved her
that me and her can never ever be
i hated this and i regretted every word i said
twelve hours later i heard that my girl was dead
commited suicide by supposedly slitting her own wrists
all she left behind was a single red rose and a note that said this...

i miss you and one day hope to see you again
i hope to breathe once again
you were the only man i always dreamed of
i need you i feel it in the beat of my burning heart
now we are apart but i promise you
that my spirit will never leave you again

so here i am now crying
angry ain't the word you know
never wanted it to be this way
broken down please here my lonely words say...

i miss you i wish i could see you again
you help me breathe
the one and only i always dream of
still need you by the beat of my bleeding heart
i can't believe we are apart
feeling so much pain so promise me now
that you will never leave me...again

~ damn too late now
too god damn late ~
