Where Roses Bleed

So still the night around her As perfumed candles softly dance To the breath of tears now falling Upon the petals in her hands Glistening drops of memories Cascade slowly down her face As she is taken back through time To a once upon a place Where once she was a dancer Upon a stage dressed in his smile And blood red roses were an offering With hat in hand,he showed his style A nearing stranger in the shadows He faltered from the light Tossing blood red roses Then softly whispering goodnight These moments were so long ago Still they're etched within her mind As trembling fingers caress each petal Her heart,it falls behind Seeing is believing She knows now she must move on Though beautiful memories remain The blood red roses have all gone Somewhere in the stillness Beyond the beating of her heart There cries a thousand roses Blood red and torn apart
