I peel the roses, one by one
Make my way down hollow halls
Leave a fragrant trail behind me
Watching the petals, as they fall
The color of blood, stains my hands
As I grasp the delicate stems
These thorns, a mere reminder
When I was once condemned
Still I’ll search for my salvation
Leave the petals where they lay
Seek to find redemption
From the sins of yesterday

Wow!!! This poem radiates a certain power. Something very profound from deep within. The trail we leave behind by whatever we did … sounds like karma in some way. I love that you put it with rose petals… sounds more positive! BEAUTIFUL!

It was a very weird sensation that brought this one to life. Not sure I could ever explain it, but I like the way you did ❤

Some things are not easy to explain since they are only perceived by a feeling. But I would say that your words triggered a certain feeling that shows a picture which tells a lot!
