Waking up to scents
Of dead roses in the air
Can't stay where I'm supposed to belong
In the shadows, but there's no where else I have left to go
The distance I can no longer see
A reminiscence I can no longer bare
And I search out for you
Ages passing and I feel already withered
Waking up hoping I could go back now, but time denies me
I can hear you through passing whispers
Are you even there to hear my screams?
Thought too many times you would come back for me
Save me from the demons living in me
I asked myself why death rejects me when I needed a release
Nothing strong enough to pull my soul out from these depths
No white wings yet to carry me so far
Why have you betrayed me light?
Why must I drown so deep?
Listen to my crushed heart weep as my soul seems to decrease
Deeper and deeper, without age everything decays
Here within the shadows
Which has made a stain out of me
Black velvet dreams
And your words I have long forgotten, along with the memories
This rose dies...
Like a dead rose for the world to craddle
But I can't be kept like this any longer
My colors have withered
I feel like I should be gone
To frail where memories are breaking
Outlasted the rest of the garden
Everything is tainted, but I still smell a scent that lingers
Should I have been crumbled before?
No point in me lasting
I wont last here much longer
Like the Rose...everything Fades....but its Beauty still Remains

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
