Where Roses Die And No One Cares

You danced like dusk upon the floor
A sigh that lingers evermore
My hands still tremble with your trace
The silence drips with ashen grace

Your breath was frost, your voice, a hymn
That led me to the edge within
I called your name through midnight's stare
But found no warmth, no answer there

So fall, my love, into despair
Where roses die and no one cares
Your touch remains, a cursed flame
I wear the night and call your name

Each tear you left became a star
That burned me close, then stayed afar
A requiem on broken strings
Still plays in dreams and other things

So fall, my love, into despair
Where roses die and no one cares
Your touch remains, a cursed flame
I wear the night and call your name

No Moon can drown this longing tide
No prayer can turn the breath of time
I loved you deep where none can see
You took the light, and all of me

So fall, my love, into despair
Where roses die and no one cares
A shadow sweet, a kiss untrue
Yet still I dream and die with you
