Tulips Are Better

Tulips are better
Real beauty is forever
Just wither away

Never been this glad
To see the cursed morning
After such dark nights

Always thought of God
As no more than hype and pomp
Artificial hope

Fields of innocence
Dandelions waiting for
Sweet reviving breath

Pull your trigger first
Try to save you from the pain
It’s too late for that

Holding on to you
Trying to preserve your faith
In something near you

Restoration of
Dignity and self-respect
Neither you know of

You deserve much more
Than you’ve received from this world
Life lacks nurturing

Screaming at myself
Too much damage inflicted
Not enough of me

Giving all I’ve got
Not enough to set you free
Just a little more

Kill to have you see
How beautiful you are and
What you mean to me
