Roses Are Dead [Collab]

Roses are Dead [Collab]
by: Darien and Natalie

One wish after another blows through the wind
Brushing past countless decisions ready to be made
Faith and hope have fallen beyond mountain tops
Stealing truth and happiness which surely will fade

All those dreams that meant something, disappear
Falling behind fake scenes created in desperation
Every ounce of energy wasted in hopes to survive
Tomorrow is faced with another complexed situation

Laughter fades to smiles, and smiles fade to nothing
Hanging by a small piece of string on its very last thread
Intense emotions circle around with confused thoughts
Remembering every single last word their lover had said

Fingers quickly turning numb and life is impossible to grip
Everything seems to be fading like the writings in the sand
Disturbing flashbacks of timeless tales floating in confusion
Breaking down as memories fail to appear on command

Dreaming of days from the past where nothing felt wrong
And only tears from happiness and joy would fall from eyes
Those were the times where my life made the most sense
Now these wishes wilt away like the dying of the roses.

*Nat and I took a verse each, and the last verse we split two lines each*
** I love working with her! **
