Bittersweet Roses

I don’t know if you knew
But I owe it all to you
My liberation
The fight for a cause

There you were, smiling at me
The wind in your tresses
So peacefully
I cannot make it fade
Your scream piercing
Like winter’s blade
Your bittersweet roses
Stained my memory

What a fool was I
Taking for granted
The ambiguous lie
That I stood alone

There you were, smiling at me
The wind in your tresses
So peacefully
I cannot make it fade
Your scream piercing
Like winter’s blade
Your bittersweet roses
Stained my memory

How can I erase this?
The nightmares follow everywhere
Your eyes follow everywhere
Your blood
Like bittersweet roses
Petals on the ground
Your memory
Like bittersweet roses
