Turn back time - Beady Belle

As I touch the rose

All the petals fell off

And the stamps took their naked

Quizzingly exposed

The perfect conversation

Wasn’t there anymore

The sublime masterpiece

Scattered out on the floor

The pitiable sight

Of the fragmented bloom

As the smell of decay

Suddenly filled the room

Irreversible and oh

So irremediable deed

Despite self reproach

I’m a broken reed

Why couldn’t I have just enjoyed the beauty

Why couldn’t I have just left it alone

How could I destroy something so wonderfully made

Now the season of blossom is gone

How I wish I could turn back time

How I wish you’d still be mine

However I trump

The blame that I take

The sorry word doesn’t work

On this mistake

So I’ll sweep up all the petals

Lying on the floor

And I’ll empty the dustpan

As I lock the door

Why couldn’t I have just enjoyed the beauty

Why couldn’t I have just left it alone

How could I destroy something so wonderfully made

Now the season of blossom is gone

How I wish I could turn back time

How I wish you’d still be mine
