She stood there with flowers in hand Yes, here they go once again The cycle just repeats itself on and on Like music to a sad but familiar song Cries could be heard, I'm just not sure from where The rain pouring down now leaves her soul bare Wearing her heart on her sleeve, She's given her all Still though her soul continues to fall Through her own tears, she sees the pain on her lovers face Wishing she could go back to a simpler time and place There she stands at the door with beautiful flowers indeed Doesn't she see though, flowers aren't what she needs It's like that country song, I can buy my own roses, you know that old tune She wonders in her heart is there space to try again, really is there room? Outside the thunder rolls on, thumping against the window pain Maybe everyone is right, and things will never again be the same She looks across the room, those same flowers still in the vase Vibrant and alive, they seem to come alive for a moment or two As the petals lay around on the table, holding the possiblity of truth Beautiful flowers they are, what a nice gesture, but is that love? She hardly thinks not, searching for the answer high above A calmness now though engulfs her, once she's never felt before Slowly she walks away, slowly but forever closing that door "love is like a butterfly-- if you chase it, it will surely fly away,instead hold it close and watch it grow into something beautiful" ~me~ [This message has been edited by Aimster (08-31-2003 05:31 PM).] |

flowers are nice, but don't replace genuine effort and caring.....and don't always call for forgiveness.....*hugs* |

Flowers are very nice, but then you have to watch them die. Isn't love the same sometimes? Wonderful what you did with these thoughts. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
