Words On The Paper

A single rose, withered and dying,
A couple words on the paper,
Left me here, hurt and crying.


As red as blood with a single thorn,
A couple words on the paper,
To remind me why my heart is torn.


What did I do to deserve this pain,
A couple words on the paper,
Many tears I couldn't restrain.


Why'd you say you had to leave.
A couple words on the paper.
Too much to take in, too much to believe.


You said that you might come back,
A couple words on the paper.
But now my heart's empty, cold, and black.


"It wasn't my decision." You had said.
A couple words on the paper.
Now Im left here, numb and dead.


On Valentine's Day you tell the news.
A couple words on the paper.
You said: "I got drafted in, I didn't choose."


So now I sit with a single rose,
A couple words on the paper.
I might live, I guess, I suppose.


A note was left, my sadness grew.
A couple words on the paper.
It said: 'Always remember, I Love You.'
