New Roses

Even when your brain slips away
And it forgets every memory we made
I will write them all down for you
Even when your body is cold
And your veins stop racing
Even when your eyes glass over
And your skin no long radiates
Even if your hands can no longer grasp mine
I will try to keep you secure and warm
Even when your wrists stop vibrating
And your limbs become stones
Even when your lungs fail to rise 
I'll breathe for the two of us
Even after the worms take their share
Every inch of you will still belong to me
Even when you become the grass
And the roses bloom with your scent
Even as those roses wilt
And sink back into the ground
You will always belong to me
