Faded Rose

I gaze at her as she smiles back Her searing brown eyes lock with mine I am reminded of that familiar feeling Her radiant beauty tries to blind me of the past, a forgotten lover Like a faded rose my heart has lost its color Awkwardly admiring her assets Her long hair pours effortlessly down her back And her scent strikes my senses A romantic ambiance I was once able to immerse myself in But these walls are results of many falls And these eyes have been victim to many lies My lust for affection has been jaded Like a faded rose my heart has lost its color Only once lovers can relate to this pain It drains your veins leaving you broken and tamed Just scratching the surface, I am finding that she is perfect Her delicacy has mesmerized my mind With thoughts of what could be… A feeling that was lost with time Like a faded rose my heart has lost its color Do I dare to make that leap once more? The lust, the trust I yearn for Do I tempt this notion? Will we fall victim to the motions The breakup fights, long nights, makeup sex Relationships never seem to pass the test Her daring, seductive eyes allude to my nostalgia for love Shall I compose another heartbreak or will I have finally found my everlasting lover Like a faded rose my heart has lost its color
