Spare me the daisies, Save me the rose

To have a dream

For me are nightmares

Running, chasing

Oblivious and unaware

When I start running

I see nothing but delight

So I keep running

Into what I thought was light

My heart pounded against my chest

As my feet screeched to a stop

My mouth dropped open in horror

As my heart began to drop

The dazzling image in front of me

Was nothing more than lies

I tried running back

As I started to cry

A daisy landed at my feet

As I ran from the sight

The petals fell down

Obliterating the precious sight

As I ran faster and faster

Away from the memory of depression

The ground began to fade away

Leaving me stuck in suspension

As I fell

I felt a hand grab my hand;

Pulling me back up

To a steady area of land

As I gazed at what I saw;

A young man, dressed in black

Extended out his hand

And handed me a rose

Not wanting to stick around

He turned and left with a smile

Knowing that he managed to save another person's soul

while carrying a second rose with him…
