Red Roses

by Toni   Jul 19, 2005


Did I ever tell you how much I love you
How it’ll kill me not seeing your face
I long for the world to stand still today, see
You’re the one thing time can’t replace

Did I ever swear down, upon my knees
That you were my only light
How many times did I swear down
As I lost myself in this fight

Didn't you know I’d die a thousand times
Just to see you smile in that way
Just to breathe in your spirit, when you laugh
How I’d kill to see that today

Didn't I kiss your cheek that time
…Just to make you smile
Didn’t I hear you say it was the nicest thing
You had felt in a long while

Didn't I lay down those red roses
As you lay upon the ground
Didn’t those tears fall down on you
And yet I made no sound

See, I know you were so hard to please
But somehow I found a place in your heart
And the thought of you not knowing
How much I love you, tears me apart

Those red roses, they were all for you
Crafted in the shape of my love’s art
Red roses laid upon your grave
...Entwined into a heart

- Not sure if this is finished...True story, R.I.P
