i guess that i will never know
why it is you had to go
you never even said goodbye
you just left me one blue rose
on the pillow where your head had been
until i awoke i had never thought
that i would wake up all alone
so now i see as days go by
there's nothing left to do but cry
and think of how the rose will die
it's beauty soon to fade away

i'll place the rose between the pages
of my favorite poetry book
then someday when i'm feeling brave
i will open the book and take a look
at the one blue rose you left for me
whose message is still unclear to me
for i did not know anything was wrong
until i saw that you were gone

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Sad and tender write Faith.  Makes me think of the "went for a pack of cigarettes and never came back" scenario.  But the blue rose is a elegant sweet touch. Enjoyed

The blue stain on the pillow and on the heart is felt by the reader here.

Sad and melancholy write Faith.
Somehow that translates into a strange sort of beauty everyone can relate to.

Nicely done once again.

At least he showed a bit of class with the leaving of the blue rose, as if he knew you would be blue by his actions.
