Wasn't to be

It wasn't what I thought ~at all There was no writing on the wall It seemed to want to be held It shone so bright I was under its spell The red that glowed Seemed to fill the room All from a flowers bloom? But as I approached To breathe in the sight I noticed a dimmer light Thorns drawn Blood flows Everyone had to know? All but me It wasn't to be This rose was for Another Or, was this how it's to be? Capture me in your beauty Fill my senses with your perfume Ask me to reach for you Then open up a wound? I will go And leave you here If it's another you wait for. But know~  I will heal And we may meet again But your beauty,  for me, Will have faded by then.

Nothing left in the palm of my hand Another fight lost I yelled at the clouds But they only laughed and ran away I screamed at the sun It fried me! I tried to move a mountain It wouldn't fight back I kicked at the rocks They stumbled away They too didn't want to stay. As night wrapped around me and stole my fight I gave into its selfish plight. "Tomorrow will be better," it said You can't be angry any more You no longer even know What you are fighting for. I allowed the breeze to take my revenge The stars then danced for me "Everything isn't what it seems" I let these words settle in As I laid my head against the stone The wind came back to cool me The oceans mid-night roar, soothed me They were right There are reasons to stay and fight And there are reasons
