a dead rose consumed by the filthy crystal glass
and among the broken thoughts like melted candle
encasing my fears
are fragments of what's left, virtue and love from in the past
give me your shattered dreams
piece by piece you've torn mine from the very heart of goodness
and left me a sorrow of memories dying like leaves of autum burned in the sun and
life like constant tearing seams
you've shown me the way of life, a relentless storm piercing me continually into your darkness
give me your timely death
a new flower plagued with greed like the insignificant petal that lies lifelessly on the floor
a momentum carried through rivers of blood and airless breath
the trueness of your blackened heart which i will see to beat no more
GIVE ME YOU
