When the Petals Fall
Poem
In this light, hear me call
Leave me breathless in the lull
No other lips could ever be
Your cold kiss was made just for me
Tear me open, bleed and crawl
Shed my tears, no voice left to call
No other love could ever leave me
Your scars to brand my soul in misery
My heart's a rose to be kept
Thriving on the tears I've wept
Every breath, a new regret
A hateful love, I won't soon forget
Your words are thorns that I accept
Choking the rose I've carefully kept
The fragilty that you forget
Binds me, your broken marionette
Break my heart to break your fall
Memories like knives, a blade that's become dull
Oh bitter love, you fail to see
The pain with which you ruin me
I know it's time to end it all
When the petals of my heart begin to fall
Oh sweet death, please comfort me
And in your arms, I'll find relief...
