A Crumbled Petal From A Yellow Rose

by Heather M Craig   Dec 19, 2004


It has been months since you gave me that yellow rose
but I kept a single yellow petal from it that day,
As it gets older it crumbles and wilts even more,
and our friendship is the exact same way.
I hold onto our friendship tightly and it crumbles
and even when I do nothing with it, it will still fade.
You can do everything for it but nothing ever helps
even when a solid foundation is laid.
I look at that crumbled petal from that yellow rose
and memories seem to form and I start to cry...
I remember us laughing, I remember us in tears,
I remember us hugging, I remember us fighting,
I remember your smile and I remember your eyes
but most of all I remember how you hurt me and was always lying.
I love you with every inch of that heart of mine
but why you hurt me like you did, I will never know
but I will never forgive what you caused me
that is why I hold on to the crumbled petal from a yellow rose,
That is all I have left of us besides the memories of the past
but I watch it fade away as each day grows more and more
but you in my heart won’t fade like this petal does
and that is a promise from the bottom of my heart, I am sure.

*this is dedicated to my ex best friend Amber Kempfer, also on this site~if you wanna know why she is my ex best friend, you should read the poem Heartbroken but yes, i am sorry this is not as good as i expected it to be but what is behind it is much more important than the poem itself. I hope you all leave me comments and votes, i try to return the favor...loves.*
