Dead Roses
Wilted, dead roses.
Red velvet turned into dust.
Fake poses, filtered for comfort.
A life filled with lust.
Trampled on roses,
breaking at the touch.
Love loses every time,
shaking with fear and a blush.
Clouds drift against scarred wrists,
Lines and lines of never ending twists.
Paper people holding hands,
Sitting quietly in a plastic land.
Fingers brushing past
but never interlocking.
Their stems too scared to stand,
ignorant minds throbbing.
This town is garden
of weak petals.
Their creases dripping with blood,
people drowning in the mud.
We are living in a crumpled
up piece of paper.
Eyes thundering with vicious jealousy,
up to no good.
