Rose Garden

 

 

 Believe me, when I tell you

every new day is wasted on me 

the sunlight can stay where it is

stay in, behind those black clouds

the clouds that hide the truth 

 

the sun is dead 

at least to me

 

it turns out, darkness 

is my only friend  

protecting me from my loneliness 

no need to see the sunrise  

I don\'t want it to shine its warmth 

upon my face numb

numb with loss 

 

every day is dark 

and it\'s the way I prefer to see it 

after all love has died 

 

I accept my fate 

but still 

I\'d like to give my reader

my true and most sincere 

apologies

because my words are harsh 

 

where love goes to die 

is a place I hope none of you 

ever have to be

but, if you are…

 

don\'t forget to bury it deep 

deep on the underside

of your very own rose garden.
