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
