FALLEN PETALS

Your kiss left me on the edge

And I remember those cold blue eyes

That left me in the dark pits

Waiting for a hug

The hug that made me warm

But seeing you stand there

Without saying a word

Made me feel that something is wrong

Then you took a step back

I could see the sadness in your eyes

Your smile had disappeared

And you said, "I am sorry"

It left me wondering, "why?"

Why was he sorry?

Why was he sad?

Did something happen?

What was wrong?

Standing in the cold winter gloom

Without saying anything

He started to part and walk away

I wanted to hold him

Say, "it's gonna be okay"

But the silence he left me in

Could not say a word

He bowed his head down

And held himself

Taking a step or two

He said, "it was never supposed to be this way"

I could not blame him

Neither could I say, "what you did was fine"

Because seeing those sad blue eyes

Brought tears to my eyes

He started to walk away

The distance he brought

Made us a distance apart

We could never be together,

Like how rose petals can never be re-joined

Once they have been fallen
