Love with a stone

download (7)

The letters I sent,

Yet lie unanswered to;

Rottin’, outside your door,

Lay the flowers I sent you.

 

I thought of you as a friend,

And told you my secrets;

But you gossiped ‘em all about,

Leaving me scarred with regrets.

 

I remember when I first let you know,

The feelings of my heart;

You stood there with your friends, giggling,

As my confidence was ripped apart!

 

I, now realize,

That am in love with a stone;

And the horror of it,

Chills me to the bone.

 

But me,

Am a stubborn ass,

Ne’er will I lose my hopes,

To win my beautiful bride.

 

 

Cause, maybe,

Sometime, someday, someway;

The tides shall turn,

And my stone-hearted maiden will understand my love.
