The Rose
 
Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Tears on a rose
That fell from my eyes
I’ve been crying
Since the day
You died

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

You were killed
Ripped out of my life
At the young age
Of twenty nine

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

You were
The mother of four
Young Little girls
Who were left behind
Without their mom
In this world

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


They now must face life
Without you by their side
Oh I have seen
And tried to dry
The tears that they’ve
Cried

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


How do you explain
To these little girls
Why their mom
Is no longer in
This world

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

How do you tell them
That she was shot
Two men with guys
Took her away
This is something they will
Have to deal with
Everyday

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


You were my baby sister
And we were so close
I miss you daily
I miss our talks
I miss seeing
Your face
And the sound of your voice

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


I can no longer hear your laughter
I can know longer talk to you
It hurts my heart
And makes me blue

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

This month
Of July
Once again
Your birthday
Will arrive
You were have turned,
the age
Of thirty three

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Once again
To the cemetery
I will go
To place flowers
Atop
Your headstone
And my tears
Will flow

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I can’t stop the tears
No matter how hard I try
At stand beside your grave
Hang my head
And cry

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I speak a few words
Turn and walk away
Crying and filled
With unbearable
Pain

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


It’s a pain
Like I’ve never known
I have tried so hard
To let you go

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

But your death affected me
In so many ways
And the way that you died
Just about drives me
Insane

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Your killers are still free
Walking around
I don’t know who they are
Or if
They will ever be found

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I’ve lost faith
In the police and the detectives too
I’ve lost faith in society too
I feel as though they have given up
They no longer search
For who killed you
And someone in society knows
Who killed you too

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Tears on a rose
That fell from my eyes
I’ve been crying
Since the day
You died
