I HEARD ROSES CRY

A couple of roses lie
in the corner of my room
and I lay along with them

With all my fears clenching to my throat
Holding in all the tears that are waiting to get
the chance of escaping my eyes
and my breaking breath wanting to leave me too

I heard the roses cry
and I cried along with them

You gave me the flowers thinking i would like them,
but i could only think about how they had to die to get to me

I felt the petals of the roses as they dried
and I dried my eyes along with them

Don't give me flowers again,
don't snatch away what's not yours to take
But that's what you always do right?
Take and take everything till there is nothing left
and that's how you left me alone
with a couple of roses,
we both deprived of life

I saw the roses die
and I died along with them
