Dying Rose
This is my sad story
 Hidden behind your false glories
 I brush my pain on someone else
 Trying to forget it myself
 
 I'm a dying rose without a grave
 And inside my core the angels sang:
 
 Awake! And stand up strong
 Awake! Time to move on
 Forget! The last page in my last novel
 You can read me like a book
 
 This is my own illusion
 Brought by the one conclusion
 That your mistakes
 Can't be erased
 Your wings have broken
 And your halo shattered
 You've fallen away
 Say 'goodbye' to your own masquerade
 
 I'm a dying rose without a grave
 And inside my core the angels sang:
 
 Awake! And stand up strong
 Awake! Time to move on
 Regret! The last line in my last sonnet
 Pretend emotions like a play
 
 You see the words I've conquered
 All their meanings have wandered
 No matter what I say
 The ice around my heart won't fade away
 Someone bring my fire
 An escape of some kind
 My past is burden
 No time to rewind
 
 I'm a dying rose without a grave
 And inside my core the angels sang:
 
 Awake! And stand up strong
 Awake! Time to move on
 Remember! Yesterday is here to stay
 But the pain will leave someday
 
 This is my sad story
