Burn The Garden

With acid water the petals unfurl heaving the burning grime

Sublime how they feed from whom the seed

This painful process reminds me of how you and I used to be

And bleed just to see how much we cared

Why can’t you acknowledge the fact that you won’t stay

These illusions leave me frightened

What now? Next now?

These obsessions keep me hopeless

Burn the garden

I try to comprehend how this flower would simply wither up and die
Without precious water it roots would suck up any sign of moisture
I’m the clear glistening fluid of complete nothingness
Yes you guessed right you are the rose thorns in all

Why can’t we be super glued back together again?

I’m horrored by the thorns and slivers piercing through the skin to get to
Organs that provide individual jolts of life
Wait in loneliness for somebody but they never come
Sitting in the darkness got my eyes watching the rose’s burn

So say goodnight say goodnight
So say goodbye, goodbye
So watch the clock

Count down the time we have before your heart is burned alive
Wait in till the honesty is swallowed up inside
Imagine how you mislead me
I’m not whole but I was free
I do not need to fix myself
If you don’t love me you can burn in

I’m choking on the ashes of the burned roses
Trudging through the coals
If I tell the truth
Trudging through thorns is much better than trudging through cinders
Smoldering my black feet
