Upon a Bed of Petals

Her life was full of joy and dreams Expressing life and whatever that means To live each day with new filled hope Was the only way she knew to cope Her love was hidden deep within Full of passion,angst and sin She loved a man she shouldn't take Will she pay for her mistake They shared their passion behind the door Hidden from all, she wanted more She deserved more than she received And when he'd leave she cry and grieve Upon a bed of petals she lay Sobbing, imagining another way

Yes, it's sad, luckily it's not me. Someone I know. It's very sad when a good person fall into the lions liar.

I did tighten it up a little, checked my punctuation, and changed a word here or there. Thank you for your help. J.
