After The Bloom

Verse 1  
Your flowers dried by early june  
The vase still caught the ghost of bloom  
You didn’t cry you simply swept  
The petals where our promise slept  

Chorus  
After the bloom the color fades  
And silence grows in hidden shades  
I try to water what we knew  
But nothing blooms without you  

Verse 2  
You wore that dress of coral blue  
The one i bought but never knew  
And when the wind began to call  
I saw you leaning with the fall  

Chorus  
After the bloom the color fades  
And silence grows in hidden shades  
I try to water what we knew  
But nothing blooms without you  

Bridge  
The stem still bends toward morning sun  
But finds no touch when you are gone  
A garden left to grief and dust  
A promise turned to fragile rust  

Outro  
You left before the roses died  
But took the spring i held inside
