Blue Roses and Poison Thorns

[Verse]
Blue roses in the vase, petals bruised from the weight,
A love letter torn, ink dripping with hate.
Shadows in the hallway, whispers hum a dirge,
Every step closer, my demons emerge.
A locked drawer, secrets buried in the dust,
Bloodstained promises, betrayal breeds rust.
Broken clock ticks, but it ain't keeping time,
Every second slipping, every sin a rhyme.
[Prechorus]
Poison thorns in the garden grow wild,
Heart turned savage, once soft as a child.
What blooms in the dark ain't meant for the day,
I tried to hold her close, but she withered away.
[Chorus]
Blue roses and poison thorns,
Love ain't gentle, it's jagged, it's torn.
A beauty that cuts, a kiss that warns,
Blue roses and poison thorns.
[Verse 2]
A silhouette in the mirror, can't meet my own eyes,
Reflections lie, just a mask in disguise.
The clock strikes twelve, and the wolves start to howl,
A feast for the vultures, blood stains on the towel.
Lust dressed as love, venom sweet on her tongue,
A symphony of silence, every song left unsung.
The bed’s still warm, but the sheets smell of ash,
Burned bridges in the night, love turned to a flash.
