roses

neend si rehti hai, halka sa nasha rehta hai

Something's happened
Whether it's changing you or me
We'll never know until it's too late
You wandered the open fields
Closing in on a solitary flower
But something happened
which awoke your dormant desire
Giving you the strength
you never thought could come alive

A cool wind stirs around
the beads of sweat on your forehead
feel colder
reaching out for the flower
you can almost feel its beauty
tender and soft between your fingers

you don't deserve that kind of beauty
the beauty of its elaborate petals
it can drive you to plain jealousy
with each petal you pluck
a shattered piece of your heart
fits back in place

once it's whole again
the bed of roses surrounding you
will come to life
