Soon The Petals Will Surely Falter

Why should I escape the pain
where should I keep my secret
is this life where I want to stay
within darkness I shall spend the rest of my days

forced myself to sleep last night
screaming out with no reply

now what's in store for us
nothing but premature dust of forgiveness

why must I pretend to fight
when my wings are burning into flames
so tell me why should I fight
when I can't find reasoning for hope

shattered into a puzzle of missing pieces
forgotten memories lie within ages of tales
life is always strange
with signs that mentally change you
in a way that seems to fit best

I'm torn into whole
within the dirt I grow
petals to falter
and wind to protect
I lay within the time of life
when I know I surely will soon die

yet I represent the form of love
showing signs of faltering faith
soaking up the tears of cries
violent dreams rest within my sight
it's too late to take this bet
beneath the courage I now rest
