waves of dead roses
swallow me
as i drown

i had a million words 
to say to you
now there’s nothing left

i’m a rainbow without colors
a bird without wings
a flower without petals
and i’m lost without you

i’m a rainbow without colors 
a bird without wings
a flower without petals
and i’m lost without you

now i slowly 
fade away
as you leave

you used to be there 
for me
now you’re gone

i’m a rainbow without colors ...

i am from the shadows of a dream
from the unheard cries of a phoenix
as it’s last breath was taken
and it fell into an endless sleep

i am from the weeping moon
whose tears fell like raindrops
into the loneliness of the night
penetrating the surface of silence

i am from the secrets of an old box
swirls of dust piled up
shattered glass, floating feathers 
dusty memories, shattered locks

i am from blackbirds, 
from roses and cherry...
