The roses bloom around a house
Reaching over the roof and into the clouds
The thorns pierces the windows
And the roots becomes the floor I stand on
The living room becomes uninhabitable
With glass shattered on the sofa,
The TV split into two
And the air becoming unbreathable
The kitchen is full of insecurities
With rotting food in the fridge,
The missing knifes found in the tub,
And the family table with lost chairs
As a family we protect a single room
The walls are covered with mirrors
Gifted invincibility by our imagination
We stare at our reflection in wonder
Our shoulders are back
Confidence in our eyes
Our head is held high
And into the clouds
We became lost in our protection
Unable to see what is below
Until the dark and bright clouds part
Allowing the star to pierce the sky
It's is a fact that when there is more light
Our shadows become fed
Growing darker than before
And whispers into our ears
We believed we were giants
Taller than our house
And one with the roses
Wanting to seek the blue sky
Instead we trapped ourselves into the clouds
Becoming lost children
Who ignored the open window
And got pricked by a rose
We were smaller than our disguise
Once there was nothing left to compare to
Light shun into the room of mirrors
Leaving a broken family in sight
But we were all addicted
To the beauty of the roses
Who petals became clouds
And the stems that became ladders

I've never had the words to say
That I'm asking you to stay
Even though I know you've moved on
A part of me will always want you
I've never had the courage to ask
For you to stay forever by my side
Even though I know I'm not your number 1
A part of me will always hope
I've never had a dream come true
'Till the day you walked in
Although I know it was a mistake
I will always thank you for it
