The beast had rose pedals,
I had only seconds,
my mind was the dark castle,
the empty woods was my personification, and the lifeless halls were my soul,
each day alone was another rose pedal long lost, and another tomorrow to dread,
but you came just as when my last pedal let go,
when my last second ticked,
my beast was now diminished, my empty woods flourished with hope,
and my lifeless walls turned welcoming,
you are the hours, minutes and seconds of my clock,
the glowing pedals of my resurrected rose,
