**The roses have wilted,

The violets are dead,

The demons run circles,

Round and round in my head.**


Memories fuel the fire,

Sorrow feeds the flame,

Regrets cannot save me,

I can't remember my true name.


A song plays in my mind,

A melody that calls to me,

The sound, sweet and enticing,

I can finally be free.


The darkness encroaches,

The blade shines bright,

Soon it will drip rubies,

And everything will be set right...


**Again, the first Stanza is not my work. A friend found it and suggested continuing it. I do not own it, though the next three stanzas are entirely my own work. Please do not steal my work ^.^
