deprave

I walk in a calm field
The wind on my face
The rain falling from the heavens
With the bittersweet feeling of peace

I lean in closer towards the flowers
And smell their fragrances
The crimson rose with thorns
Has an odour, warm and loving

I try to pick the rose
But it wilts by my touch
And shrivels further by my breath
It looks sad
It is poisoned
It has decayed
Depraved by my touch

I look back
Everywhere
There's death
I leave a trail of death where I go

The rain hides my tears
While I try to touch more flowers
They all blight into the same sadness
That I feel

I try to pick the rose
But it wilts by my touch
And shrivels further by my breath
It looks sad
It is poisoned
It has decayed
Depraved by my touch

I lay my face
In the palm of my hand
The other hand
I place on my heart

I touch my heart
And it wilts by my touch
My body shrivels further by my breath
It looks sad
It is poisoned
It has decayed
Depraved by myself
