Remember the roses
That bled passion in red
On their own thorns
A ghost of a bouquet
Black petals
Lustful for verve
That decayed over time
Gave up on the eternity
Of infinite street lights
Lingering smoke
Like unanswered questions
Crushed my mind with pressure
When I inhaled dark thoughts,
Ignored consequence
Closed one eye
Then closed the other
We'll never live right
If we live this way
But I need you
In my arms
If a door
Was all that secured
What I look for
Somewhere I couldn't reach
Then you'd be the key
You'd be the answer
You'd be the one
Let's sleep tonight
Questions running away
Forget all our troubles
Let's stay this way,
I need you
