In silence, I always feel I am walking on glass,
filled with yesterday's sorrows,
that flames in tomorrow,
whereas my own blood stained the glass
of what I call a broken past-
and I know to never looking back.
But, my heart keeps on crying
for what was left behind.
I soon heard a voice screaming at me
saying,'' What have you done? -
Now, what are you going to do?"
'O, tread lightly, as the voice started to slip away,
I cried out, "Please don't leave me.
I feel so very alone!"
I hunger for this pain to go away
yet, all of this started because I looked back.
And all the past ever gave me
was more rain and more pain
that seems to never go away.
I see promises in his eyes,
yet, that was before he had died.
I know all about of him and all he ever told
was he wanted to marry me?
'O, I can feel him near me underneath all that snow,
I walked very slowly feeling the cold
out in the loneliness of the winter.
I spoke gently, so he could hear me,
Yet, all I have seen is a heavy stone with his name on it.
My vex heartfelt once more so very alone,
I cried out just to see him once again,
I had fallen upon the snow.
I held my hand upon the heavy stone
saying in the warmth of my heart-
this is where my beloved is resting his head
my tears fall as I catch my breath
I got up and left him one red rose.
