There used to be tower of ego, the wrong side of everything I could be
Kicking my angst in place, you became the light of the dark side of me
Love turned into an addiction
And my predilection,
Wrote down the words on the snow
Melting under your heat – not knowing much, I know
That my eyes scan the dark
Wilting under our kiss of the death;
Like smoke spirals heavy on your poisoned breath –
Baby,
You’re like a kiss from a rose on a grave
The more I try to die, the more your kiss tries to save
The strange feeling
In the slow healing
When you bend so low
Do you know?
That you kiss like a rose on my grave
Trying to buy me some heaven
In a jar of honey red kisses
Like a slow shadow creeping
Willow heart under my grave weeping
But you remain -
Bending so low
Do you even know?
Any sane man would give up death
And walk twice;
I’m a man walking on water
Now that your rose is in bloom
A touch of light kisses the shadows of gloom
Do you know?
You’re like a growing addiction I can’t deny
Bending so low, rose
Kiss me full on my grave to pacify
My lips from turning blue
One touch of rose from you
You remain
My power, my pleasure my pain
I’ve been kissed by a rose on my grave
And you remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain

(Inspiration: Kiss from a rose by Seal)

Love is always an addiction, the more you get, the more you yearn for.

loved these lines
Trying to buy me some heaven

Like a slow shadow creeping
Willow heart under my grave weeping

Hullo Supriya
" And you remain, My power, my pleasure, my pain " An uncommon compliment here.

One of my favorites. I liked your spin on it too.

One of my fav songs :)) I think there's a version by Brian McKnight also that's amazing.
Like it particularly because the imagery is amazing. Just visualizing it. If you try to hold a rose too tight, you are likely to get stabbed ;) Darn thorns - great defensive mechanism and whatnot.
Enjoyed it.
