Patio Roses

The roses on my patio are in bloom but I fear they have a dease.
They were hers but shes gone now.
      Still they are so beautiful

It's the middle of May but it's still a gloomy day
Cupcake our dog lies in the grass I think she's lonely too.
     We don't eat.

The phone always rings in this hotel 
but they're only business calls
    I remember when

Tommorow is Sunday there'll be vistors
people talking and laughing
    We only watch.

I lost something awhile ago here in this place
I want it back
     Nothing is right.

I know a girl, we talk on the phone
when I see her it's threw a glass
    It's safer that way.

This house was made with stone but it was built in sand
grain by grain it slipped away
    I need to heal my roses.
