What will I do,

What will I do,

Red roses,

And tears,

So many tears,

What will I do,

What will I do,

Living a life,

Without you,

Is no life,

I am broken,

The sun has gone,

From all my future days,

I breathe,

I am alive,

Yet dead.

What will I do,

What will I do,

I love you so.

I know your name.

I know your name.

The face you offer up to me

Is compliance.

Faith, following, prayer.

But I know your name.

I've seen the other side of that mask,

A starless night,

All the horrors it contains.

I know, there's scratch marks

On the inside of your skull,

Crazy,

But there's no escape.

The truth will always out.

I know your name.

I know your name.

Paused at the edge

Of the lamplight

Afraid of the darkness beyond,

It's been so long

Since I last saw you,

Yet I'm here again,

With a rose.

January snow so silent

Will soon cover any tracks

I might leave,

Some still ignore

The truth that I loved you,

Forget me and bury me too.

But for as long

As I'm still breathing,

Every year I'll bring you a rose,

A kiss,

From our long hot summer,

To melt the January snow.

I've left behind so many people,

Moved on,

Lost touch,

Not really bothered,

Some would say,

An occasional bitch,

Who cared,

Just not enough.

Until you.

I've tried so many times

To get my head around

Your silence,

It kills,

In the middle of hysteria,

Work,

A modern world,

I reach for your words,

But they are old now,

And belong to a different life.

I miss you,

But wonʼt ask how you are.

You brought light,

To a dark heart,

I miss you,

But I wonʼt ask how you are.

So close once,

Now worlds apart,

I miss you,

I wonʼt ask how you are.

I loved you,

But I won't ask how you are.
