Velvety petals of the rose flower
Dried by the stillness of the air in the room
Bought for forgiveness, but dead in an hour
Always wished to see you in bloom
Over the dirt of a shallow tomb
Unravel with the ache and the gloom
Kissed by the sunlight that towers and looms
Putrid from decay's old fumes
Velvety petals of the rose flower
Tried to move onto something new
Bought for love but now your heart devours
Sits atop a shelf in your room
Under the light cast upon your tomb
Torn asunder by ache and gloom
Dried by the sunlight that towers and looms
Nightmares from which I withdrew
