Dead Roses

Opened my eyes
walked to your sunlight
chased you, unreachable star
ensnared, I had no choice
and followed you into an endless alley

But you never turned your head back
loser as only I can be
contented with what could be
I go walking
behind you
living of the love crumbs you leave behind
tiny little letters that shape words
that never meant a thing

Another piece of me evaporates
another one drowns
what is left tries to eat me
to fulfill this hunger
this emptiness
this cold, dark obsession
caused by the green color
that emeralds borrow from your eyes
caused by your words
and the perfect distribution of your face
drawn to you by your everything
definitive beauty
assassin of my hope

Closed my eyes
walked back into my darkness
where there's no starlight
through another endless alley
looked back
and you weren't there

I know you won't get lost
for I'm leaving heart crumbs as I walk
pieces of my blue rose heart
the one that never meant a thing

RESUMIENDO EN LO QUE LEO TIENES HAMBRE DE ESPERANZA, NAUSEAS DE DESOLACION.
CREO QUE ES LA CONTINUACION DE PEBBLES POR LO MENOS ASI LO PERCIVO
PERO DE TODO LO QUE HE LEIDO NO SE LE IGUALA A IMSOMNIO, QUE ES MI FAVORITO.

Maybe one day you will take hold this ouroboros heart of yours and shake free the heart crumbs from those shaded eyes. there is more light for you than you can fathom to see from inside that alleyway m'dear, and many untravelled roads just around that dark corner.

Wow... just wow
It's like you pulled that out of my soul
