The Land of the Roses and the Violets

The violets are dying

The frogs stopped croaking

And while everything is silent,

I'm sitting here, crying.

The roses are stained with my tears

I'm in fear

Everything is falling

Around me, disaster has struck like lightning

I've stopped rhyming

I feel like there's a hole swallowing my heart

Its spreading like wildfire

Painting me like I'm art

Even though I've found my rhyme

I'm starting to lose track of time

The rain is pounding so hard and I've knocked on so I many doors

But there's too many floors

And like everything around me

I'm suddenly falling

Into a bright light

Shining through the night

It's not starlight

I'm ready to fight

But my vision turns white

And its getting darker

And darker

And darker

I've blacked out

I've awoken in a field

It's surrounding me like a shield

The roses are red

And the violets are blue

Every part of me

Remains true
