Rose Eyes

The conflict housed within garden of my mind
Has long since withered what had bloomed
Within my fragile heart

Choked out by the roots of compromised dreams
Wilted and waning
Bending to the aberrant image of the thief
As we plotted to take my own life

Please don't be subsumed by malicious lies
You are worth more than all this pain

We plunged his vile blade
Into the failing flesh of this wavering wasteland
In attempts of eroding the sacred seed of hope
The king had sowed deep within my soul

Safeguard your heart
Keep your eyes on me

Please don't be subsumed by malicious lies
You are worth more than all this pain

I carried this burden for so long
I hope to shed this skin that I live in
Is there purpose beyond the ache
Or is this all life has to offer me

Don't let me fall among the thorns
Don't let me wither away

Poisoning the soil
Decay sets in
Rotting out the roots
Wilting the stem
Withering beauty
Atrophy remains
Poisoning the soil
Rotting out the roots

I refuse to let this garden die
To be usurped by another's aspiration
You will not reap this harvest
Devour the dust and descend to the depths
Where even death won't dine with you

I am promised a hope for a future
This 'salt of the earth' is not destined for death
