Left Here

Wilting Rose

I remember the nights I watched you sleep

Your body lost in some far away dream

Well I was so scared and so in love then

And so lost in all of you that I had seen



But no one ever talked in the darkness

No passion ever added fuel to the fire

No light ever shone in the doorway

Deep in the hollow of earthly desires



But if in some dream there was brightness

If in some memory some sort of sigh

And flesh be revived in the shadows

Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined



I remember when you left in the morning at daybreak

So silent you stole from my bed

To go back to the one who possesses your soul

And I back to the life that I dread



So I ran like the wind to the water

Please don't leave me again I cried

And I drew bitter tears at the ocean

But all that came back was the tide....
