A Rose Lay on My Grave
A memory once we shared
A Red Rose Lay on My Grave
The reddest rose lay on my grave
silent tribute no hand to save
its petals weep in quiet rain
a symbol carved from grief and pain
The earth is heavy cold and near
your footsteps fade I cannot hear
no whispered word no final prayer
just shadows lingering in the air
A love once burning now is still
time broke its bond by cruel will
yet in the soil where I remain
the rose remembers love and pain
Your eyes once met my own with fire
now gone are dreams and lost desire
I rest beneath the stone so deep
the rose alone its vigil keeps
The reddest rose lay on my grave
one last embrace you could not save
and though the night may never end
the rose recalls where hearts were friends
