Where roses bleed

So still the night around her
As perfumed candles softly dance
To the breath of tears now falling
Upon the petals in her hands

Glistening drops of memories
Cascade slowly down her face
As she is taken back through time
To a once upon a place,

 

Where once she was a dancer
Upon a stage dressed in his smile
And blood red roses were an offering
With hat in hand,he showed his style

A nearing stranger in the shadows
He faltered from the light
Tossing blood red roses
Then softly whispering goodnight,

 

These moments were so long ago
Still they're etched within her mind
As trembling fingers caress each petal
Her heart, it falls behind

Seeing is believing
She knows now she must move on
Though beautiful memories remain
The blood red roses have all gone

Somewhere in the stillness
Beyond the beating of her heart
There cries a thousand roses
Blood red and torn apart.

 

This pain overwhelming
I would love to end it all
releasing the soul inside me
no longer am i small...

 

I long to be free,
of the anger deep within,
to live for all eternity
a spirit to rise again.

 

This world and its' strife
too much for my weary heart
so, so tired of this life
tearing me apart.

 

Destiny calls my name
no one would miss this much
nothing will be the same
descending into dust.

 

To rid myself of this depression
soaring through time
tried so hard to be the best
while praying to die.

 

I'm through with this place
I've become blackened and cold
to no longer feel disgrace
once this prison of flesh is gone.
