Wander through the roses

I have no words inside me,
There’s an empty place today.
And I really wish
That what’s there now
Would take itself away.
I want to have my self back,
With a smile inside my heart,
Not this grey and bitter dismal place
Surrounded by the dark.
Think I’ll take myself off outside
Where there’s fire in the sky.
And I’ll wander through the roses
’Til this rot inside me dies.
