Rose

I never meant to sow the seed.

You came and went so suddenly.

The rain has flooded the dying lake.

Sweetheart, you’re still awake.

Left here alive and brought back the dying.

Through this canopy of spiderwebs I lost a heart that’s newborn and crumbling.

Sweetheart, you’re safe and sound.

My love grows, roses for rose.

Coffins in dirt, the dead always know how much it hurts to be alone.

When you’re alone, roses for rose.

I killed the sun but gave you the moon.

This isolation is killing you.

I shit a prayer then I licked my wounds and lay down beside you.

I find peace in you when you let me lay with you.

My love grows, roses for rose.

Coffins in dirt, the dead always know how much it hurts to be alone.

When you’re alone, roses for rose.

When you're alone, roses for rose.
