The Rose Garden Story

He said that I was beautiful,
That all those misinterpreted thoughts laying beneath my bowl of bone,
Had a light illuminating the darkest reaches of the world,
But my memories were scattered with emotions that left me abandoned in tears, pain, pleasure, and love,
But I reached a breaking point and decided that the subtle hints were no longer sufficing to my everlasting desire,
So I described in raw detail the life I lived,
Shameless of what I did or what happened along the endless road,
Yet, my words were a whisper in wind as they filled less empty spaces with broken promises,

So I desired to be noticed,
Dancing with men and woman I do not know,
Sleeping with a stranger that I just met along my journey,
I picked at the scabs on all my flesh and shed a new skin that was as radiant as the sun and moon combined,
But I still had a void to fill inside my chest,
And my emotions penetrated deeper than any drill could,
Shattering my once flawless bones,
A diamond beneath a heavy hammer,
A temple struck by a meteor,
A white line inhaled through my nose,
A whip that constantly breaks my hold to life,
And a razor that slices through my flesh and veins so easily,

There is one emotion however that covers us all in a cloak of white,
We lock it up inside a bottle that dangles from one small thread,
Love,
Though I encountered so many people along the way who joined me and together we created an army of nobodies who knew everybody,
There was one man who aroused me in a way I could not understand,
He was not ordinary yet he was as normal as a frog in a pond,

So we kissed in a late November winter,
A glossy eyed lover who was just as unreadable as I,
He spoke like he had nothing to lose and no more to gain,
And in some way I lost track of time,
My teenage years were over and I had grown old,
Our bodies bound to one another by a circle that symbolizes a bond forever,
And we made love,

Love as passionate as the waves of the ocean reaching towards the moon,
And days passed when I thought I could never do anything without the help of someone I hardly even knew,
Fate is a strange thing,
It has so many twists and turns that it is as complex as my distilled heart,

Then one day the fire burned out,
A love that made the sun seem cold now lies dead in a pile of ash,
Instead of trying I ran,
Distancing myself from his once warm embrace that kept me alive during the cruel winter of life,
I left the man I loved behind because he was not the one,
I didn't long for anyone and never wanted to be alone so I found a new town with unordinary faces,
Together we slept under the moon and the stars,
Drinking one another like vampires who have been denied blood,
Becoming animals which were not animals at all but ghouls and monsters that defiled the name of love,

And through mistakes along my journey I found solice in sex alone,
Meeting different people to satify different needs and desires,
But no one could compare to him,
It was empty and meaningless,
No matter how hard I tried I never was truely happy,
Then I became so lost in myself I lead men on to believe that I wanted them,
I let them violate me because even though I didn't want to lay with such pigs I knew I was no better and deserved it,

After years of leading a pointless life he found me again,
His face still glowing and eyes gleaming against the sunset,
He smiled and we were complete strangers once again,
And again I fell in love,
We were destined to be together,
Miles between us yet now he lays inches from me,
Sleeping under the moon with naked features,

So in the end,
We found each other,
A love for one another that made the suns jealous,
A passion hot and beautiful,
And I do not feel shame to say I love him,

I am his rose garden,
And he roams inside of me finding new secrets to my maze,
Pricking his fingers on my sharp thornes,
We are one now and forever until the end.
