A Thousand Yellow Petals (for her)

A thousand yellow petals
gently sprawled along the road
one for every tear shed
one for every time she smiled

with every step he takes
a single yellow pearl is dropped
to leave behind a precious trail
that reminds the world of his special girl

as the nights fade on, he dreams of her
and the wonderful times they shared
he saddens with every piece placed
as if hes lost her all over again

a beautiful woman with a smile
that brightened every person who saw it
an amazing human that made
everything seem so perfect

taken away so tragically, so dreadfully
that the whole world seemed to collapse
so brutally that it crushed his very spirit
it tore from him the only love he'd ever been shown

a thousand yellow petals
gently sprawled along the road
one for every tear shed
one for every time she smiled
