ROSES


                                       WHEN YOU CAME INTO THE DOOR
                                       YOU HAD ROSES IN YOUR HAND
                                       NOT KNOWING I WOULD BE THERE
                                       EMBARRASSED, YOU OFFERED ME ONE
                                       HOW COULD I EXCEPT A ROSE
                                       YOU HAD BOUGHT FOR ANOTHER
                                       YOU SAID IT WAS JUST AN
                                       APOLOGETIC GESTURE TO
                                       EXCUSE SOMETHING YOU HAD DONE
                                       THE NIGHT BEFORE
                                       GOING BACK OUT THE DOOR
                                       WITH ROSES IN HAND
                                       WAIT FOR ME, YOU SAID
                                       I'LL WAIT, I HAVE NO REASON TO
                                       SHOW ANY SIGNS OF POSSESSION
                                       I'LL WAIT FOR YOU
                                       JUST LIKE I WAITED
                                       THE NIGHT BEFORE
