You Left Me Forever As I Watched the Rain Fall On the Roses

We had all the time in the world or so it seemed Then reality can in and destroyed the life we dreamed All at once it had fallen astray Id never be the same until my dying day One door is opened but then another door closes You left me forever as I watched the rain fall on the roses I drowned into darkness to face my worst fears I was broken and cried an ocean of tears The essence of you is still in me The only comfort is that yours is truly free One door is opened but then another door closes You left me forever as I watched the rain fall on the roses As the water poured down the flowers turned red The memories we shared still danced in my head Then it pooled and seeped into the ground That day in heaven on less heart did pound One door is opened but then another door closes You left me forever as I watched the rain fall on the roses I’ve was pricked by a thorn straight through my soul One day at a time was my only goal I planted seeds so I could watch them grow I will love you forever and this you will always know

Thanks Sara. I always write about love and loss. Its not really directed towards anyone. However since my father died I seem to have pour out the loss poems. I hope they find meaning to everyone.
