Witherd Rose

by Wip lost the Rhythm   Jul 24, 2005


Waking up to scents,
Of dead roses in the air.
Can’t stay where i am suppose to belong,
In the shadows, but there is no where else I have left to go.
The distance I can no longer see,
A reminiscence I can bare no longer ..and search out for you.
Scabbed angels at my feet.

Ages passing and I feel already withered.
Waking up hoping I could go back now, but time denies me.
I can hear you through passing whispers,
Are you even there to hear my screams?
Thought to many times you would come back for me,
Save me from the demons living off me.

Haven’t yet found out if these things were meant to be,
Asked myself why death rejects me when I need release,
Nothing strong enough to pull my soul out from these depths,
No wings yet to carry me so far,
Why have you betrayed me light,
Why must I drown so deep.
Listen to my crushed soul weep as my soul seems to decrease,
Deeper and deeper,
without age everything decays.
Here within the shadows,
Which has made a stain out of me.

Black velvet dreams,
And your words I have long forgotten, along with the memories.
This rose dies.

    ^^^^^ Amazing stanza. I get what you mean, and understand perfectly. I can relate, and the stanza just captures me. As if I am you, or as if I was the person, feeling those heavy emotions.

    "Ages passing and I feel already withered.
    Waking up hoping I could go back now, but time denies me.

    Are you even there to hear my screams?
    Thought to many times you would come back for me,
    Save me from the demons living off me."

    ^^^ Amazing yet again. So powerful. I like what you where getting at, your mistakes we've made, wishing we could all go back. Least that's what I am getting from that stanza.

    "Listen to my crushed soul weep as my soul seems to decrease,
    Deeper and deeper,
    without age everything decays."

    ^^^ THOSE LINES- Fantastic! Raw, clever, wonderful wording, and structure. It stands strong, and sticks out. I think it was wonderful. And guy wrenching.

    "Black velvet dreams,
    And your words I have long forgotten, along with the memories.
    This rose dies. "

    ^^^ What a perfect way to end a great poem. I don't know what but the few words that are written, end this poem incerdiably well, it just ends it and fills in any blanks or dumb founded spots you might have gotten from the rest of the poem, if someone read it and didn't get what you meant. A fine piece of art you have here.
