The lingering scent of petal decay

This one is a bit long, I apologize! anyway here it goes

The lingering scent of petals decay

Ah.
The lingering scent of petal decay
Crumble, crumble, the sound of footsteps crumbled
I decay

And on paths here broken
I remember ill words spoken
in the fields of stacked hay
where we both had lay
and stained memories stay
there, I decay

And forever light has ended
for this heart cannot be mended
atonement non-repented
of the words I chose to slay
I just decay

And your words of affection
had left me no protection
from a heart so broken
of a friendship broken
and of tears that I had saved

When I look into my reflection
I am offered no protection
from my feelings so badly phased
and in the mist of autumn
I had reached the bottom
of a bottle where the emptiness lay
now I just decay

Were the flower petals falling?
In the dark, where I cried bawling?
In the night's desolate fray?

Were there angels singing
In the dreams of demons dreaming
Where happiness, heaven does betray?
In the fields where my words echo, replay

Now
I just stand in a meadow
where my past fulfills my shadows
where loneliness’ does lay
and astray I find a petal
tough as ore, as strong as metal
near the footsteps and the sound of crumpled hay
I just decay

Here I stumble
Near the mass of farewell decay
And into the shadows
Where my love is rattled
Like a snake about to slay

Ah the lingering scent of petals do not fade
They just crumble crumble crumble
Where my love does rumble, rumble, crumble
In this field where we had use to lay
Here I just
decay
