Wilted Rose

[Verse 1]
You left your rose
On my nightstand glass
Red as your lips
From that last slow laugh
I held you close
Till the curtains turned gray
Your hair in my hands
Like I could keep you that way
Now the petals curl
Just a little at the tips
Like the way your name
Still catches on my lips
[Verse 2]
Same dark room
Same cold sheets
I still sleep
On your side
Half-reached
The rose leans down
Stems starting to crack
Dust on the window
In the frame of a cracked heart
I see us there
In the bend of its spine
Every night I kissed you
Won’t leave my mind

[Long guitar solo. The guitar tells the sad story in its own language]

[Verse 3]
The Thorns gone black
The Leaves fall to the wood
All that bright red
Running out for good
I trace that rim
Of the empty glass
Smell of dead flowers
 our last night passes 
Head on my chest
Your breath in my ear
But the rose is dead and cold
And you’re nowhere near the fold
[Verse 4]
Now it’s dead
All bone
Just a dry
Wilted rose
Every petal like a piece of my heart
You burned to shreds
Still I lie awake
Both arms wrapped around air 
Feeling the ghosts of your shoulders
Like you’re still there (oh)
This ruined rose
Crumbles when I breathe
Just like us
Just like us
And it still won’t leave

A high energy sad rock song with badass male vocales. Verse 1 and 2 builds up to the badass guitar solo before Verse 3
