GHAZAL

A Rose in a Dark World




Looking down a twisted tunnel of lies and deceit
A tunnel with no light to be seen
I reflect on the life I lived and the steps I've made
Recalling my mistakes and the pain
I don't regret a single one
I don't regret the choices I've made even the one
The one that put me at the entrance
The entrance of the dark world I stare into now
My regret is that those choices are taking me away
Away from my rose of thorns
The rose I found in the midst of the orchids
My rose made life mean something
Brightened my days and saved my ways

No regrets
My choices found my rose
My rose of thorns
