My Withered Rose

I see the petals fall off of a withered Rose

I feel the rain as it falls down from Heaven’s cold.

I feel the pain as it crashes through my veins…

 

The darkness ebbs and I stand alone.

Beside someone who I don’t even know.

(Why am I here?)

I hear him whisper, “Everything will be O.K.”

 

Used and Abused- I’ve got to run away!

Broken and Bleeding- still I’ve got to stay…

Used and abused… (I can’t get away.)

 

I see more petals fall off of my withered rose

I begin to feel that I am really alone.

I feel the emptiness crashing down around me.

(Doesn’t anyone know?)

 

 

Used and Abused- Can’t stop this pain within!

Broken and Bleeding- I think I’m Dyeing…

Used and Abused…(I can’t get away)

 

My chains are the bed that I lie in.

My pain is the loss of who I am.

The kisses of this sin are burning me again!

 

Used and Abused- The memories are haunting me!

Broken and Bleeding-I die again.

Used and Abused… (I’ll never get away)

 

The demons come, they rip my soul.

The battles won, I start to Fall.

My soul is lost, my petals gone…

I need someone to rescue me!

 

Used and Abused- I’ve got to break free!

Broken and bleeding- won’t you redeem me!

(I’ve got to run, I’ve got to flee…

Can’t anyone rescue me?

I’ve got to feel, I’ve got to love…

Does anyone know how to love?)

It is masterfully written and quite beautiful. Sad and lonely but powerful. I feel so bad for your friend, yet you portray her so well. I feel for you to have to watch such suffering. It however, takes a great friend to stand by someone not matter what. A true friend with unconditional friendship.

Regards,

Matthew
