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.
