Tear Shed Roses

Tear Shed Roses

A Poem by Travis Prino

Why do you pull me down?

I'm like a tree that's been burnt to the ground

and why do you play these games?

I've been hurt before but never quite this way

my heart is broken again

you took my life and tore it end to end

and now I'm cringing inside

cause I lost the only thing that kept me alive


love is flowing through my veins

and spilling out my pores

all the times you've gone away

still I keep coming back for more

and when it's all said and done

you know I'll be the one

that keeps on running back to you


why do you f**k with me?

I'm like a tidal wave that's lost out at sea

and why are you so messed up?

breaking me once was just never enough

now I'm begging for you

to just let me go if what you're saying is true

or tell me otherwise

cause I can't take this endless drowning in your eyes


love is flowing through my veins

and spilling out my pores

all the times you've gone away

still I keep coming back for more

and when it's all said and done

you know I'll be the one

that keeps on running back to you


you keep me around for your amusement

until I come to my self conclusion

to end this silence, to end this war

I'll give myself and you'll have your cure

and when I die you'll bury me

tear shed roses from your heart's misery

cause you thought you had all this time

but time was never on my side

and now you sit there all alone

wondering how you became so cold

just remember how you took my life

as the blade cuts in and the darkness takes over the light


love is flowing through my veins

and spilling out my pores

all the times you've gone away

still I keep coming back for more

and when it's all said and done

you know I'll be the one

that keeps on running back to you


that keeps on loving you.
