The Reality Of Now

 

 

 

 

 

The Reality Of Now

The sweet aroma of roses fade into a distant memory
Blackened pedals drift silently to the hardwood floor
Only to be swept away by a soft summer breeze

The light tickle of ivory once beckoned her embrace
Now as it echoes off these empty walls, it haunts me

Finding little consolation in my beliefs, I drown in her

Caring not to hear only a faint whisper on the wind
I long for my ears to bleed from her screaming my name
As my fingers glide across this cold faded photograph

I writhe in agony to feel her velvet skin beneath my touch

As night falls the endless silence becomes deafening
Alone with my memories of her, I pray for endless sleep

Wishing I could still smell her perfume on this empty satin
I clutch her pillow and silently whisper her name
Hoping to fade into darkness, never to rise again
