The petals fall from roses in bloom
The scent so fragrant it fills the room.
The thorns so sharp they pierce the skin
And spill the blood from the life within.
A dozen roses of the deepest red,
Sent to the woman who lays in my bed
For she is the blood that courses my veins
My reason for living and bearing the pains.

Shocked, burning rubber cold. I'm on my way, so soon to get old. Was scared at first, not anymore. Shaking, my heart was so sore. I only had my heart to give her. Never anything else to make her.

Short One About Love
My girl she's everything to me. She's all the things I want to see. I'm lost without her, I can't breath. I'm lost in endless misery. I'm in my own prison. I can't sleep. In my hearts prison.

Wake up, I just can't wait anymore. To see the light your eyes gently pour. Drive away the lies messing up my head. All these hungry flies circling the dead. And how I long, even when we're in bed.

She's a beautiful Phoenix, Risen six times. Face of an angel, She's just my kind. We're perfectly imperfect, Only great at being bad, She's perfectly imperfect, The best I've ever had.
