Inherit the flesh

A rose marred by tainted soil

Roots swallowed and buried

Only worsened by decay

It's all we can feel

Abrasions suppressed sprout

Misery blooms within a tender embrace

Thorns cut so deep

Inside skin too broken to see

Fear of what's meant to be

A fury heavy enough that you can't let go

You won't let go

Too bitter to let it go

Can't ever shake the feeling

Hate always begins at home

Where dead flowers keep appearing

(Waiting for the worst)

To be their end

A vile seed brought to being

(Waiting for the worst)

The past never dies

It stays inside

Where petals lie
