The roses are blooming on the gable while our love dies

Two years ago, our love was full blooming how time flies

As we drifted away from friends they were often amused

Now they are asking what happened and they are all confused

They said I was the stronger and you the maiden fair

The chosen couple of the group a very loving pair

You were the new artist and painted fields and flowers

And we ran and splashed barefooted through summer showers

Your parents never worried for us and neither did mine

There were clouds on the horizon not all just sunshine

you somehow lost interest as if you no longer cared

As if the love we once had was being rather spared

Things were no longer the same so alone I often mused

Without an answer from you I was often confused

Then a date with you was cancelled when at nine you phoned

We found you later alone on a bench and you were stoned

You said your older brother gave you your fathers old pills

That he had taken one or two and they gave him thrills

You were so far gone to the hospital you were rushed

And so full of pain killers your stomach had to be flushed

You admitted you had been popping daily for weeks

Which probably accounted for your valleys and peaks

All this drama and deceit has left my heart deflated

And any promises I made are all now vacated
