The roses told <br />Only on you <br />Only on you <br />I was a stray without a fold <br />Without a pack <br />Dying slowly <br />Dying lonely <br />Cause you were the arrow <br />In my flank <br /> <br />So I limped through life <br />In a circle <br />In a circle <br />Like a cycle <br />Til I collapsed <br />In between a strange place <br />A rock and your lap <br /> <br />You stroked my head <br />How pathetic <br />How pathetic <br />But I loved you <br />And when the realization dawned on me <br />My heart developed a tiny crack <br />In that moment <br />It only just felt broken <br /> <br />I loved you even then <br />As I lay dying <br />As I lay dead<br /><br />Alejandro Torres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/something-i-ve-never-tried-before/
