"Flowers on my Grave", a poem

"Flowers on my Grave"

When we first met,
I recall just what you said.
You promised that you'd be there,
you swore you'd do whatever.
I remember you saying,
you'd buy me flowers, chocolates, all my heart desired.
And you'd never leave, you're staying.
Forever is what you promised me,
but I just could not believe.
Turns out, I was wrong...
you stayed so long.
But forever came to an end.
It was over too soon, my lover... my friend.
And now I recall,
all the things that I said.
"You promised that you'd be there,
said you'd do whatever.
You said you'd stay forever,
well now that's fulfilled.
And I ask for one last thing...
I must face this terrible fate,
not even by love's grace can I be saved.
I know now what my heart desires...
will you simply promise to lay flowers down,
upon my grave?"
