The Lost

Lifeless, cursed rose petals,

Strewn by my bare feet,

Stem's thorns that I clench,

Flesh that starts to bleed.

Darkness like a fog,

I fight, I suffocate,

A cringeworthy scream,

It is over, I am late.

Thrashing winds inside my head,

In agony I turn,

I run through my tears,

Leave the corpse inside to burn.

Smoke seeps into my soul,

A heart dipped in shame,

And now my love I shall return,

From whence I came...

I love the line:
Thrashing winds inside my head,
great use of words. I know I've been in that place before.
Your imagery in general was used very well.
I could feel this one.
