Wilted Rose

she's filled with a wistfulness for all that was left behind...

A wilted rose
In a dusty vase
A petal falls
With a failing grace
A seductive sadness
Embraces my heart
A twisted beauty
A blackened art
Inky darkness seeps
Into the depths of my soul
Trying to destroy me yet
Trying to make me whole
Lights flash
The world spins
I lose my balance
As I drown in my sins
Memories wander
Lost in my mind
Thinking about what’s past
What I left behind
I’ve been left behind.
