Poem
LAST OF THE ROSES You all see what you want to see. What does the book say? When we die, we all die alone. Happiness is inconsequential. Removing the horns of the bull, won’t make it civilized. The frozen roses of winter won’t thaw in April. Forgot I had a voice, while living in these lies. Drinking the elixir in the end turned out to be fatal. Your fidelity smashed to pieces, when you finally came. Now everything’s different. Just let go, nothing’s going to hurt you now. You’ve come so far from everything you’ve known. The dawn is coming soon. It’s not as scary as you thought it would be. Come down from the clouds. It’s funny the things you find in the rain. Washing all the blackness away. Am I safer here on the ground? Or in the higher ground? Pearl dove flying in the night. Somehow finding its way back to the light. Maybe all these wrong turns could turn out alright. We all see what you want to see. The Last of the roses, are the most beautiful in black and white. What does the book say again? Happy endings may as well be extinct. Is everything set in stone? Am I under control? All I ever wanted was to make an impression. Somewhere inside there’s a woman. Not a possession. One day you’ll learn to let go. No one’s going to hurt you now. You’ve come so far from the life you’ve known. The sun is aligned with the moon. You’ve never been as strong as you are right now. The things lurking in the rain, Brought darkness to this place. Pearl dove flying in the night, Hopefully someday will find the light. Let’s see how brave you are, If nothing turns out right. Nothing scares me anymore. All I ever wanted was protection. Pearl dove falling in the night. Holding on for one last night. Resting in the clouds waiting for redemption…
