A Dying Heart
He gently lays the roses on a cold bed of dirt.
A tear falls down as a symbol of his hurt.
He stares at the stone and falls to his knees.
He looks at the sky and cries out, "Please!"
"Please let this be...some horrible mistake.
Just a dream--and soon I'll wake!"
But the sun goes down and the clouds appear.
He rubs the stone and wipes a tear.
Rain starts to fall; loneliness all around.
He tries to lift up, but falls to the ground.
"Please come back; you're my whole life.
I can't make it without you, My beautiful wife."
He sits all alone and watches the trees
Swaying back and forth from the silent breeze.
"I don't want to leave you; I don't want to go.
I don't know if I can make it now...I just don't know."
He finally stands up. The tears rush down,
His heart barely beating and starting to drown.
"I will always love you and I want you to know
My heart will never change, but forever will grow."
He turns very slowly and starts to walk away.
Knowing his happiness has ended-on this endless day.
