Shattered Roses

What once was precious

Now happily lost

Who could have counted

Upon the cost

I care not now

That it was breathtaking

A broken petal

Never so liberating

Shattered roses

Shattered dreams

All is not

Just as it seems

So take my liberty

Take my life

It’s not for you

You’ll end in strife

I couldn’t have saved you

Like you wanted me to

Your honour rotten

Your heart askew

Shattered roses

Shattered dreams

All is not

Just as it seems

I’m happy now

The rose is gone

Go to hell

My battle is won
