A Rose That Smiles at Death

Held captive by their mercy

You hide your tears silently

Left in your prison questioning

When you'll ever see the light of sun again

Its always too dark to tell

When all that would swell

Will start to hurt again

I swear, someday, you'll be free from all the toxic things they said

You'll be free of torment, while they lay face down with regret

I see the way it pains you, as you swallow with every breath

Through every crack of cement, is a rose that smiles at death

Their words cement their own fate

So when you find your own way, leave room for unmarked graves

Their words can only break what you let break

Find shelter in those without their blood stains

Never apparent, from birth until death

They never loved you, but with every breath

They want you to bathe in the blood of your youth

Now its just you and me

They can't break you

Break my soul; I won't let them break you
