Glass Rose

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

For you I’d peal every last pedal of a roseHe loves me… he loves me notAnd I’ll bet the last will be a notFor you I’d do it over againUntil I got the right answerBy then I’d be swimming in a sea of pedalsDrowning in self pity with the fragrance of lifeThere you are high above the restUntouchable you may seemShimmering in your gloryI hope it won’t be too lateWithout you here oftenI forget about youAnd I have to start overFor you I’d peal every last pedal of a roseHe loves me… he loves me notHe loves me notThat is what I dreadYou can’t touch something that isn’t thereFor now you remain only an image in my mindMy little glass rose…I can’t peal back your pedals to find out if you love meFor you have noneYou can’t touch something that isn’t thereAnd until you bring forth…You shall remainMy glass roseI need you here with me...
