In Bloom

Candle light the dark side of the 
moon
I have kept this part of me from you	
Decorate my heart just like a grave
As I bury this love deep inside and 
softly away
Placed with sovereignty I lay 
silenced and still in your womb
Shoveling dirt on my face until my 
bodies consumed
A rare flower in bloom you carefully 
placed in my hands
I gave it myself with my life, but you 
took it right back
Its the scent of a roses beauty that I 
cannot explain
Or why Im losing my soul its the 
same with the scent of my pain
Even under the earth my shadow has 
no place to hide
Just as your smile still burn the back 
of my eyes
