Dying Roses |
|
My innocence is dampened
By the rain that colors blue.
I can only watch the dying roses
While three fates chain me to you.
I could never walk both ways
In my alleyway of air
Warm sky, cool breeze, both crashing together
Into a hurricane that's eternally there.
My love is torn asunder
As I lay between two sides
Do I foolishly risk all for one
Or cling to old joy that dies?
I have to question my happiness
When you made love seem so bleak
You think I can forgive and forget, but...
You never saw my tear stained cheeks.
Now I have here before me
A love that will be returned.
It may be fallacy, but I believe
That my heart will not be burned.
I'm faced with the guilt of loving you,
Leaving you behind while I flee.
I fear the dark hands that grace your soul
Will take you forever from me.
You've held me so long and I'm scared to let go
A fear from my weak, disabled mind.
This may be a scar on us that nothing can heal
Not even the erosions of time.
I have nothing left to place my faith in
But roses with thorns that bite.
They shed their petals like the moon and her tears
And they've shaken my heart tonight.
