Black Roses from Black Roses by Alex Winters

Black Roses

I see your reflection in the still water
Why have you come back to haunt me
Here and now
Clutching my chest
As the pain returns
The memory of you like salt on an open wound

Black roses why do you prick me with your crown
My spirit lying broken, upon the hallowed ground
Black roses why do you crown me with your thorns
I have given all I can I cannot give you anymore

I have cried out all my tears
My eyes are dry
There is nothing left for you my dear
I bled myself for you
Inside my panic room
The crimson of my love spilled on the floor like wine

Black roses why do you prick me with your crown
My spirit lying broken, upon the hallowed ground
Black roses why do you crown me with your thorns
I have given all I can I cannot give you anymore

You promised me forever, but forever came too soon
You set my heart on fire and left me to burn
but I pulled my heart from the embers, a woman scorned

Black roses why do you prick me with your crown
My spirit lying broken, upon the hallowed ground
Black roses why do you crown me with your thorns
I have given all I can I cannot give you anymore
