Rain and Rose

To tell your story
Would fill them with horror
And pain
But I saw your eyes
When you spoke
And I saw how violence
Can be something you live with
And create something you love

I can never tell
Of her hands on your skin
For it speaks
Of want and power
Taken to extreme
And I saw how lust
Can be something you live with
As you try to forget

It goes unsaid
The weight of day
The dance of death
For it lays shadows in your eyes
That colours can hide
And I saw how past
Can be something you carry
Causing rain and rose
