A Garden Of Eternity

Walking through a field of roses.
Curiosity makes me stay,
As the thorns of these deadly flowers slowly lead to my dismay.

I sincerely hope that no one else may ever walk through this despair,
And find themselves perpetually trapped in this garden with no escape.

So please just disregard these roses
and let time take them away,
until my body is found caught
in their immensely cold embrace.

My soul bound to the once white roses now tainted a crimson red,
These arcane flowers that now lead me to my grave.

And even though now it’s too late
I steadily started to comprehend
That the thing I most adored,
was now the one I most regret.
