It was years ago when this began, <br />Now it’s all sad, cause you got scared and ran. <br />It was good La Cosa Nostra, (this thing of ours) <br />But it’s gone cause you’re a coward. <br />I would have given you all, <br />YOU – My rose – My one and only flower. <br />But I couldn’t save us, I didn’t have the power. <br /> <br />You say I didn’t express emotion, <br />Maybe nine was not the right potion. <br />I told you I loved you, and that I’d always be there, <br />You said yeah, like you had no care. <br />I quoted Frankie, Ole Blue Eyes, The One <br />And now my moment of silence has begun ____________! <br /> <br />Maybe it wasn’t meant to be, <br />But you never opened your eyes to see. <br />That when I was with you; my knees were weak, <br />But go ahead, - You’ve got your love, and I’ve had my time to speak. <br /> <br />Copyright © Adam Rubenstein January 2005<br /><br />Adam Rubenstein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hurt-29/
