Your memories breathe with the breath of mine
It will breathe until the rays of sunshine…
In your absence nature has become my lover
Birds become the singer
The drops of the rain have become the drummer…
And I am the only listener…
The army ants bite me instead of biting the earth  
They are enjoying my flesh but I don’t sense the pain
Your memories are killing me harder than those army ants….

I planted a rose in the garden today
Its petals were tired and worn
My beautiful rose has seen better days
But today it will cause me to mourn

Wrinkled an wilted its stem can't stand
I carried it where ever I went
The sun gave it strength and the rain gave it joy
Though its better days were already spent

Its beauty and grace were unmatched in its day
People couldn't help but stare
It held to my hand every where I'd go
There was nothing that we didn't share

All the other flowers couldn't get my attention
No matter how hard they tried
For my eyes were made to look at my rose
Rose is the name of my bride

I planted a rose in the garden today
Its petals were tired and worn
My beautiful rose has seen better days
But today it will cause me to mourn
