thorned roses reach to the sky
pleading for perfection
given life by death's whims
bleeding their colour on the barren ground
tainted by our ever broken hearts

vines of blackened ivy
twisted into frozen fingers
begging for an end
to their macabre pantomime
performed to an audience
of sightless eyes

an empty fountain stands alone
filled only with unshed tears
cracks spider across the stone
forming splintered words
that nobody will ever read

gnarled willow branches cry out
imploring the emptiness
for an end to their eternal winter
tree-tears fall onto
the withered leaves on the ground
trying in vain to bring them back to life

the grey sky parts its shroud
misty rain whispers down
onto the crumbling headstones
their inscriptions long faded
and the words forgotten
waiting for someone to come
and lay flowers on the graves

Your imagery is stunning and so descriptive, I love your poem and can't wait to see more!

P.S - I would quote the best bits, but I'd probably just end up using the whole thing
