Rose in Bloom

Hard to learn, I'm hard to lose, I'm afraid of you, On the rose in bloom. I'm inside me, Heartbeat at the mist in view So I pulled it up In the lie, its too new Mine beat hard for you For to long to let you choose Velvet skies, they fall Whispers in the dawn Reaching out to touch The echoes of your song Fading into night Like embers lose their glow What once burned so bright Now buried in the snow Unspoken words hang still Suspended in the air Tides of longing spill Across my pages bare Faded ink runs deep With riddles left unsaid Memories to keep Playing in my head Shadows dance and sway To the rhythm of our sighs Broken masquerade Where truth and fiction die Unmasked beneath the stars Raw and unconfined Scars become the art Adorning heart and mind Unspoken words hang still Suspended in the air Tides of longing spill Across my pages bare Faded ink runs deep With riddles left unsaid Memories to keep Playing in my head Hard to learn, I'm hard to lose, I'm afraid of you, On the rose in bloom.
