Her life was like,

A dozen roses

Slowly dying one by one

Too much water

And not enough sun

She killed her roses,

Let them drown

She was tired of red,

She preferred brown

The leaves started to fall

And she did too

She pushed away all of her friends

Then late at night cut at her stems

She never got tired,

Of holding the pain in

When she was weak,

She just planted roses in her growing garden

She wanted to stop

But at the same time didn’t

She was so lost

A bit afflicted

This girl needed the pain

It helped get through the day

The only way,

She could ever walk through the rain

I killed my daisies,

My lilies too

My garden was full

And my grave was too
