A Rose

I abandoned my bonds
I abandoned my chains
I abandoned my prison
I abandoned the reins
I let the carriage run awry
Down what path it chose

The road was rough
The wood, it roared
The wheels groaned
But I ignored
I let the carriage run awry
For I had found a rose

Her thorns relented
Her petals glistened
She whispered mirth
And so I listened
I let the carriage run awry
Forgetting all my woes

Time fell to fading
Time lost to bliss
A breathing dream
Within a kiss
I let the carriage run awry
For I had found a rose.
