Poisoning the Rose

Beautiful boy With rosy cheeks My Rose You Cannot thrive When Poison soaks into your roots. When you feel withered and weak And you Have Been plucked So Far Away from the sun Away from the world Away from reality I hold you in my palm ever so gently Even though your color is fading To the color of death I hope that you will bloom, just once more So I will always remember your beauty You Wilted away Into the darkness In the corner Of your mind And The Acid Curled away the petals of your sanity And My Sorrowful tears Just Can’t Wash away its poison I weep Yet I wait For my friend Patiently A miracle is all we need To Bring you back Into The Garden of life Where Bumble bee kisses And Bird’s symphony shrills And The warmth of the sun. Awaits you. And the sky hangs above us For thousands of miles. There is so much more Poisionous Acid Leave My friend
