Frozen Roses

Cold,
Frost upon my finger tips,
Blue reaching deep,
Rising up within my core,
My flesh petrified,
Body unmoving in this ice land,
I stand lonely in my garden,
No petal,
Stem anxiously waiting,
Longing,
Death crawls slowly,
On hands of sheltered bone.
Your flesh warm,
Heat rising forth,
I have need,
Yearning,
Crimson now,
My heart wants for,
Nothing,
Something,
Anything,
Don't deny me,
Let me feel you beside me,
Don't deny me.

Back away,
Don't look,
I am decaying,
Flesh leaving bone,
My garden,
River of blood,
No life,
No use,
Back away,
Leave me to die,
Back away.

Bitter,
Hate before me,
My frozen roses you can not keep,
Solid in their mass,
Like concrete,
Unmoving,
Life cast in ice,
You can not keep,
Hate me.

Reject me,
Forlorn,
Forsake me,
Leave now before it's too late,
    Stay behind,
You do not understand,
I will destroy you,
Beat and forsake you,
Leave you for dead,
Before I can open my eyes,
I will hurt you.
Leave before I cry.

Forget me,
Disregard your heart,
Learn to be alone,
I shall not come again,
Run away,
My frozen eyes,
Are searching,
Following,
Stalking.
Run away.

Forget to breathe,
Cease the flow,
Your blood running cold,
Your frozen roses I shall keep,
In my garden,
Forget to breathe,
Stay and sleep,
My child.

Wake not,
In dawn or dusk,
Stay motionless,
A statue,
In effigy of the world,
Our Frozen Roses,
They can not keep.
