Roses

Scent, sight, sounds,
Fade slowly and stutter to a holt,
Is there a single object around?
The dim light shines as a bolt,

Your laugh rings and still stays,
Her voice planted with roots so deep,
Over and over in my head it plays,
Why does my heart choose to keep?

She took away my breath,
You give me air to breathe,
Again and again you captivate my eyes,
Being lost is as simple as this can be,

Tell me once more,
Read my words and look away,
Show what your heart may have in store,
Think of me as the night comes where you lay.
