Send back the Roses

Send back the roses


Please send back the roses
Flowers are not what I need
They are so rich and luscious
But they make my heart bleed


I wanted to love you
I needed you so much
But although you`re close beside me
We never seem to touch

My mind has such a hunger
My soul has so much greed
You try so hard it hurts me
But you never sate my need

So send back those roses
With petals red as blood
They conceal such savage thorns
Though I never understood

The rose is sweet and fragrant
And can bloom in desperate waste
And like our love, is doomed to fade
Into a bitter taste.
