A single rose . . .
It lays there upon the cold, hard ground
It seems to be mocking me
With its deep red color
Reminding me of business left unfinished
Because of my cowardice


It's beautiful, perfectly formed
It seems to mock me it that way too
For who could throw something away so . . .
Wonderful,
Something so . . .
Incredibly flawless


A back is turned to me
A sound as light as a dove's departure
And yet as dark as a murder's mind
The sound is meant to be soft,
Impossible to hear
And yet it rings out like a canyon's empty echo of anguish


He turns, pain written in his every movement
"Do you know how much you hurt me?" I hear him whisper
Silently I cry, and reach out to touch him
And remembering I drop my hand hopelessly
I let out a small whisper of anguish and agony
"I'm sorry, so unbelievably sorry."


But it does not matter
He does not hear
Maybe he just doesn't care anymore
I wonder sadly if anyone will accept my apology
I just want someone, anyone, to know that I am truly sorry
For what I did


He turns again
He does not look at me
Who can blame him?
I have hurt him with my actions
I have caused him the greatest pain
I have betrayed him


I look at the rose
Lying on the ground
I feel so much guilt
I hurt more than ever
I have betrayed so many
Knowing this kills me inside


So this is the death of those
Who chose suicide
To roam Earth forever
And watch those you love hurt
To feel the pain you caused them
And not be able to comfort them


For you are no longer there
You are no longer living
You are an eternally damned spirit
Forced to feel all the pain you have caused
To be forever aware
To never be allowed the peaceful release death brings
