With a scent, divine

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
