I don't think it fits here very well, but I wasn't sure where else to put it.
Silk Roses
She sits at home all day;
He tries so hard to understand;
While the kids are at school;
What went wrong or where;
She's got no money and nothin' to do;
When they were young;
The neighbors call her insane;
They promised to love each other;
She sits there -- a silk rose --
Forever;
Elegance hides the truth;
He's not sure how much more;
A pretty name, a pretty face;
He can take;
Is all she has left;
A silk rose sits on his desk;
Her mind left long ago;
A memory from the past;
Long before the last child came;
Of another lifetime;
The doctors say;
Faded, but not forgotten;
"She'll be all right. Don't worry,"
He remembers in his dreams;
Psychiatrists poke and prod;
A time when she remembered his name.
She doesn't care anymore;
The woman he once loved,
Was only an illusion.
