Dress of Roses
Darkness I plead,
Freedom unseen.
A mask I hold,
We masquerade.
Push and pull they pry,
No might is left or so I try.
A garden grew from what was lent,
Ivy thorns imprison any mind.
Drowning.
Screaming.
Grasp, hold on.
The final blow,
I foresee my divine demise.
My dress of roses from which I dyed,
Is now seen by all eyes.
