Gone

You were once so beautiful 
You were once so kind 
You were once so delicate 
You were once my life 
Seems that your fate has eaten you 
Seems that all roses have died 
You brought beauty to the earth 
and now it's dried 
The petals on the flowers 
Now a wilted mess 
The water in the lakes filled with blood 
Yours I must confess 
You were so lovely 
Like a red rose 
You were strong 
You held on 
Said the shadows would not disturb you 
Said you were at peace now 
But no 
You lied 
I knew when I saw you that very last night 
When you were so cold to me 
I knew you silently quivered in fright 
I knew when I saw that look in your eyes 
This wasn't a surprise 
I did not cry 
The world though has become cold 
My life without you is not so fun 
I miss your summer locks 
I miss the sun 
I reach out my hand sometimes 
To touch the petals of the wilted roses 
I wish things could be young again 
I crave freedom 
But I feel so trapped 
This old house 
where we lived our life 
These old memories 
They cut like a knife 
Bringing tears to my eyes
Wrinkles spread across my cheeks 
You would have been just like me 
Remember you wanted this? 
Remember it was your dream 
I did it for you 
I thought we were a team 
When the wind blows so bitter 
and cold 
I can still feel your heartbeat under my nose. 
and sometimes I look up to the sky and
I know
that one day too I will fly.
