The flowers I gave you have died by this time
I grew them in my heart watered them with love
Now withered as a song without a rhyme
Petals fall like tears of rain from above
My heart's soil is dry as a desert
Barren of life is my deflated soul
Bled dry from all the pain and hurt
Can a heart broken in pieces be made whole?
I am lost in what could have been
Had my love been accepted by you
So beautiful were you without and within
Yet I was empty when I kissed your hand to bid adieu
Author notes
Inspired by an actual event in my life and the song Could've Been by Tiffany
" The flowers you gave me
are just about to die
when I think about
what could've been
it makes me want to cry
The sweet words you whispered
didn't mean a thing
I guess our song is over
as we begin to sing
Chorus:
Could've been so beautiful
could've been so right
could've been my lover
every day of my life
could've been so beautiful
could've been so right
I'll never hold what could've been
on a cold and lonely night
The memorys of our lovin'
still linger in the air
like the faded scent of your roses
they stay with me everywhere
Everytime I get my hopes up
they always seem to fall
still what could've been is better than
what could never could be at all
Repeat chorus
How could I hold what could've been
on a cold and lonely night? "

The rhyme is perfection, and the whole poem is delicate and tender-very well penned
