You WERE shown the Bloom...why do YOU cry now from the prick of the thorn...you could have left beauty in its place and savored it for ever. But YOU CUT deep instead and now YOU cry. And yes You do cry! Loudly! I can hear it in your smug words...YOU even love me...If THAT is love...and YOU want me or even ME to love you back...That much I know...what do you know? Not to sure anymore are you?
Were you so cheap? Or wasn't the bloom worthy of the cost? Or maybe you just thought that you bought a perpetual and ended up with a BLUE rose instead with only one glorious bloom for all of eternity.
No! I do not love YOU!!! I've told YOU this before. But I do love 'you.'..if only you were not lost...I would not run so. But I know I lost 'you' somewhere between the tears and god-awful words. NO! even before THEN or THAT...HEY! WAIT A DAMN MINUTE...it really isn't MY fault! You COWARD!!! You let your stupid fears hide you from me and now I am gone...hidden forever...maybe a ghost maybe not even that maybe nothing. Now you only see ME and you don't like that. But nothing is written in stone...only carved. I have no chisel and you are much better at chipping away... so YOU may try.
I won't stand still long...the sand is much too HOT under my feet and You refuse to run...so the BEAT GOES ON.
