So I Give You These Flowers

By: pseudomuffin

So I give you a glance, my dear,

and wonder who you are.

My heart went thumpity-thump, it's clear.

You, so close, and seeming too far.


So I give you friendship my dear,

and every moment we have, I love.

Together we laugh and cry and cheer,

flying on the wings of a dove.


So I give you my life and love, my dear,

and it shocks me you do as well.

Through my heart did Cupid's arrow spear,

I would follow you through the depths of Hell.


So I give you this ring, my dear,

to be yours forever, I wanted to be true.

You said yes, you'd always be here--

eyes catching my soul, endless pools of blue.


So I give you these flowers, my dear,

to rest upon your grave.

With you, my hopes did disappear,

for your life, my love could not save.
