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
