Rose & Thorns

Posted on 02.16.22 7:10AM under Uncategorized

Stripping back the past
Pack the boxes and the bags
That hold all of your memories
Moments that we hoped would last
As long as our feelings flowed
so hot but growing cold

We shared a bed of roses and a quilt of thorns

Communion in the dark
Endure the day until the night
Make fire from a spark
Tried to cut the bonds
that tie you to your family
But it’s too late
To say, “Goodbye.”

We shared a bed of roses and a quilt of thorns
Then you cry out in the dead of the night
(What makes you think I want to leave)

The movies and the memes we made
of our waking dreams
Vanish in the air like smoke from a cigarette
The colors of our nights
Projected on the face of the rising moon
The seasons they change so soon

We shared a bed of roses and a quilt of thorns
Then you cry out in the dead of the night
(What makes you think I want to leave)
