There was a rose garden
Vibrant and full of life
The prince poured
His love into the roses
Every night.
But the roses kept
Pricking his fingers.
His blood dripped
Onto the floor
They lapped it up
Growing more and more
Till the prince ran dry
With no more blood to spill
He left the roses
To die on their hill.
So full of fright they cried
Every night till sunrise
And from their grief
A child was born
Twisted and rotten
A head full of thorns.
They nursed the wretched child
With the blood of the prince
That was coursing inside.
She ****** and ******
till the roses turned white
as the moon hanging high in the sky.
The roses withered as the last drop
of blood left their veins.
And down from hill the child did climb
Searching for a reason
for all the pain inside.

I am in love with him
He doesn’t know what love is
I want to stay up all night with him
When his mind is playing tricks on him
He says he cares about me
I care about him too
He said he loved me
I wonder if his love is true
I love it when he calls me
His baby g
Look at the clouds above me
What do you see
I see an elephant
In dungarees
Is our love superficial
Or does it run deep
I can feel his heart beating
When we are asleep
I want him to be closer
This distance is killing me
But I just love him harder
Every nigh we are together
Two birds of a feather
I feel bound by a tether
I want to be with him forever
But this distance is killing me
When my baby loves me
Waivers day by day
But my baby loves me
Sometimes so it’s okay
In his arms forever
is where I want to stay

Perched on the tip of my tongue 
as if standing at the edge of a cliff
staring down at the steely waters below.
These words aching to take the plunge
but too afraid of whats yet to come
Will I cast my heart
upon the jagged rocks below
only to shatter my bones?
or will I dive
into waters dark and deep
Wholesome, warm, and safe?

Every time i see you
My heart threatens to leap out of my chest and off that cliff.
But fear is holding back my tongue.
Because of him,
I cannot jump without reservation.
And for that, I resent him.

You turn my heart into an ocean 
wave after wave crashing down upon my chest 
as I feel your breath 
upon my skin.
floating softly
through your sea 
you are all I could want or need

I said darling
Open your eyes
You said “Sorry
The lights too bright
And it hurts me
I’m sorry”

I said darling
Uncover your ears
You said “Sorry
The sounds too loud
And it hurts me
I’m sorry”

I said darling
Eat this it’s delish
You said “Sorry
It’s too hot and salty
And it hurts me
I’m sorry”

I said darling
Put on your socks
You said “I’m sorry
The seam is too lumpy
And it hurts me
I’m sorry”

I said darling
Put on your shirt
You said “I’m sorry
The tag is too scratchy
And it hurts me
I’m sorry”

I said darling
You’re too sensitive
So take these pills
And go to therapy
So you will be
more palpable to me

She said
she bled
because she was alone in it
But to be honest
she liked it quite a bit
And no amount of therapy
could cure her minds disease
The pain was far too sweet
and it came with too much ease

I'm not sleeping anymore
The nightmares crawling through my head
Down my hair and across my neck
Slowly suffocating my last breath

I don't  know what to do
My heart is split in two
Do you think if I cut deep enough
the pain will finally end?

Once again night gathers,
beckoning your tears.
Sorrow shatters laughter,
echoing your fears.
You tragic disaster,
what fruit can life bear?

— The End —
