Black Rose

In the garden where the night still grows
I buried all the words you never chose
Silver moom on a frozen lake
Your ghost is every breath I take
Velvet skies and a shattered crown
I was lost when you pulled me down
Your whisper burned like falling snow
Soft as sin, cold as a black rose

I tried to bloom in your shadow ligth
But love like yours was a dying fire

I'm your black rose in the dark
Growing wild inside your scars
Every thorn a silent scream
From a half-forgotten dream
You held my heart like broken glass
Watched the bleeding petals pass
Now the night is all I know
Blooming like a black rose

Midnight rivers in your eyes
Drowned the truth in sweet disguise
You said forever like a spell
But heaven never blooms in hell
Silk an sorrow on my skin
Every touch a beautiful sin
I wore your love like poisoned gold
A fading story never told
I tried breathe in your fading light
But love like yours was a lonely war

I'm your black rose in the dark
Growing wild inside your scars
Every thorn a silent scream
From a half-forgotten dream
You held my heart like broken glass
Watched the bleeding petals pass
Now the night is all I know
Blooming like a black rose

In another life I'd be sunlight
Dancing fearless in the blue
But in this world of velvet shadows
I was born to fade with you

Ashes falling from the stars
Painting poetry on my scars
Love like ours was never meant
To survive the night we spent

I'm your black rose in the dark
Still alive inside your scars
Every thorn a memory
Of the girl I used to be
You held my heart like broken glass
But even shattered things can last
Now the night is all I know
Forever just a black rose
