Gyspy Rose

Down a long deserted road
A young girl stands
Holding a red rose
Such a pretty girl 
With long light brown flowing hair
Yet she has a blank stare
Cause no one seems to really care
They left her there
As the story goes
Gypsy Rose

They had never seemed
To want her
She always felt like
Such a burden
To people around her
Yelling at her
Even if she did no wrong
Sad they never showed
The young girl how to be strong
All she wants
Is to belong
The cold wind blows
Gypsy Rose

Then one day 
He comes along
Her heart suddenly sings a song
But there’s a hesitation
She’s had so much devastation
In her life
And she remembers him 
Oh so well
She has loved him before
And things didn’t go well
But her need to believe
That they had always
Been meant to be
Is stronger than her
Wanting to shut him out
She takes another chance on his love
Looking to the heaven above
Says a thank you prayer
That once again he was the one there
And how much he really does care
She does however long for time
Where innocence was lost
So she could give it to him
But knows that now the cost
Is so very high
And he just smiles to say
That’s the price we in our lives
Had to pay
And all that matters is the here and now
And each others live to share
So no longer does she have that blank stare
The red rose she once held
Has wilted and gone away
But love has replaced it finally and is here to stay
She will follow him
Where ever he goes
She is his one and only his
Gypsy Rose
