Today I saw a rose
It reminded me of years before
I kept walking
Didn't think I needed one
But I guess its image stayed imprinted in my head
Deep within my subconscious
I had faith in my strong will
Thought if I had one dollar
I wouldn't become addicted
Use it just for the aesthetic

Today I bought a rose
It reminded me of years before
I kept buying..
Didn't think I needed more
But my hands ached for it
And so the price was paid
And my promise to them and myself broken

Today it rained
I dreamed it would
Eerie how I stood in the same place
Where last night it didn't make sense

Today I understood
The rose brings more memories
Than it does aesthetic
The rose brings more pain
Then it does beauty
Tread this garden carefully
For when you look
Your mind will not leave alone
