you gave me flowers




superiorchronicle.com



You gave me flowers
The roses of red and glowing
Then you walked away
I see you later”

The flowers in the vase
Beginning there was hope
As days gone by
Despair came to haunt my mind

For days you never came
The flowers withered in the vase
The leaves fell on the table
Why are you late?”

There was no answer
The days gone to months
One day a letter arrived
I am in prison helping a friend”

You tossed the letter
Into the bin where it belonged
The tears fell for a while
Until a new hope came to stay
