A Petal

Where there once was a garden
Now stands a rose
Where there once was love
Hate now grows

This was a land
A land of dreams
Now nothing
Is what it seems

You gave me the chance
a chance to forgive
But darling that chance
Was for you to live

Now I’ve come to reality
You’re so called love
Is more like brutality?
