A Bed of Pale Roses, by BurnsLikeAThousandScars Subscribe to rss feed for <b>BurnsLikeAThousandScars</b>♥

I wander through the garden,
I am a wreck, an utter mess,
I cant stand being away,
Without you theres just too much stress,

I find myself amongst a bed of pale roses,
So I sit beside them and begin to cry,
Tear after tear until finally they all stop,
I cover my face and let out a muffled sigh,
Every night I see your face whenever I do sleep,
Every day I think its you standing across the street,
I long to kiss you, to hug you,
To tell you that I love you,
I yearn to touch you, to taste you,
To tell you that I miss you,
Those last three words linger on my tongue,
Burning on my dry lips,
As I remember that night we danced in my room,
With your hands on my hips,

I miss you,
The words fill my head,
I miss you,
Those last three words I've said,
I miss you,
I sit and wish that I weren't quite so far away,
I miss you,
Never have I missed someone as much as I miss you today,

On this pale rose bed,
I rest my eyes, lay down my head,
My nightmares can wait until tomorrow,
I don't want to face that pain and sorrow,
Tonight, I dream of you,
Did I mention that I miss you?

With eyes squeezed shut,
I pretend I feel you next to me,
I imagine our hands entwined,
I focus on this and ignore reality,
Thunder rings through my ears,
And rain drops slip through my hair,
As lightning flashes the roses stiffen,
With their petals held high they begins to stare,
My eyes flit open but I find it hard to see,
Though squinting I notice how the roses are looking at me,

I tell them of my troubles,
How I cant resist you,
How I refuse to dismiss you,
How I burn to kiss you,
But most of all,
How much I miss you,

Its getting rather cold now,
The pale roses droop and weep,
I stand up and walk away,
But turn back for one last peep,
That bed of pale roses,
The most beautiful I've seen,
Has left me feeling weary,
As though I'm in a dream,
1am, a clap of thunder wakes me,
And I sit up in my bed,
It really is a pity,
Those roses were in my head,
Its a shame that were apart,
After all we went through,
I'd really like not to be here,
But to be at home with you,
With sleepless nights and endless days,
I wait for this storm to end,
But I don't think it will until I'm home with you,
My perfect boyfriend,
Have I told you that I miss you?
