A poem I wrote for a project one day :) it's not that good, but I tried :P It's inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "A Dream Within a Dream." l l l \/
Love is but a rose. Time is always passing. If only it froze. The petals I wish to be gathering, Fall off, the rose fading on its stem, We grasp onto it tightly, like a scarce gem. Despite the thorns, regardless of the pain, Wishing to keep it from wilting. Our hands bleed, Our hearts burn But letting go, could rescue our own. Your heart will scald, Your heart will chase, If only time would stop, your love won’t erase. The clock is slow, My heart cold as snow. I beg atop the roof of mine, Down on my knees, within the midst of the passing time. I look at the blood on my hands, Wishing true would be my command. If only time would stop, I cry I could catch the petals, now dry. If I could catch a single one, There’s a chance for you to return my love. Although its time was a short life There was once a time where it thrived. I hope it won’t stay unrequited much more, So I can again call you “mi amor.”
