Alien Roses, Pt. 1
It's raining again.
The shadows of the leavs
Fall to the floor in my room
Onto my heart
Shaded already by you.
Tired and feeling just a little unlike myself.
You held me and told me it would be all right.
And I said I would believe.
And I said I was glad you stayed.
You've stolen the ground out from under my feet
And in exchange for everything I am.
You've given me the essence of you.
For how long I don't know. I don't care.
You can't lose what you don't own.
I'd never try to own you.
So please don't run.
You've given me alien roses.
What did I do for you to let me have
Alien roses for a breath of a moment
In my hands.
Can I hold these roses without having them fall
As all things fall?
Why did you trust me with yourself?
Why have I trusted you with me?
How did we find eachother?
Do we know the shade of fragile water-coloured roses?
Pieces of our days
Shaded by shadows of fallen laeves.
I caught my breath
And my fingers tripped on my guitar strings
When I saw you had placed yourself within me.
You've stolen the ground out from under my feet
You've stolen the wolves for awhile
In exchange for roses I understand.
Roses coloured the shade of fallen leaves.
We ride to the moon and back again
Paint ourselves greyer shades of grey
Between you in my arms
And sighs that blend into night
You take my breath away.
Thank you, friend, for your patience.
Thank you love, for your light.
Thank you or bringing sweet calm to my nights.
Don't shy away from me, please.
You've brought colour to my life.
