A walk of roses and flame

A field of flowers, now withered to the ground.

The loving sun, now burning my feet as I walk.

I walk as I forget it all,

I walk so i could say,

“I really tried to move on”

Threads of past keeps pulling me back.

Tried to snap them…

Now I have scars on my hand.

It was all roses and kisses

Until you poisoned it all.

It was all smiles and laughs

Until a mistake tore us both.

But I’ll walk,

Until my knees hit the ground

Until your voice stops calling me out.

I’ve tried to heal my heart,

but how do you piece together shattered glass?

The flame you lit for me now burns me alive.

The rose from you

now scars me with its thorns.

I want a light

to replace your flame.

I know I’m hoping against hope,

but what else can I do?

I know I have to walk

until you walk out of my mind.

But where do I walk to,

when every path leads to you.
