Beautiful You

Must I go alone,
After you?
...

So simple is the snow on the trees
And the way wind sways the leaves
The feeling of grass on bare feet
And the wound of rain on an empty street
...

What Needed to Be Said

I will swallow my pride
Not for the last time
...

Yes, yes
Just lay here quietly my dear
Don’t make a sound and you won’t feel a thing
Do ignore all the questionable sounds you hear
...

What a sad, sad song
when a girl cannot love,
when a girl cannot run
to stand beside
...

Midnight Walk

I'm going on a midnight walk
Trying to remember all the times we've talked
...

The Grapevine

The days are remembered
Where nothing had to be said,
...

My name is Rose
I have abusive parents, much to your dismay
They love me, I don’t know what’s going on
So I drink it all away
...

I am really starting to miss you today
Oh how I hate this foolish swordplay

I do not remember when it began
...

It's been a while since you've been a topic
And you're to blame for my lack of inspiration
I guess I do remember all the moments you're so fond of
I guess I do loathe our lack of reconciliation
...

It's not his house,
but what else could it be?
We have a capacity for evil,
as it comes to the surface
...

In an empty room
Is where I sit
Filled with gloom
No fire lit
...

They made me this way
It's not my fault
The words they said effected me this way
It was not my call
...

Running hand in hand down the sidewalk
as children like us often do,
we're only young and reckoning we're in love,
but we really do not care; this is only a lusty infatuation.
