[SENSITIVE]: The Garden —
Again, the promise of this poem is rather dark. If this poem affects you in any way, make sure to talk with someone you trust. The message of this poem is not as dark as it may seem. The overall message is a warning, about a misleading act, I will explain below.____________________________________________________________________________

His child in distress,
was leaving him without rest.
Until she found comfort,
in a rest of her own.
Like her own secret garden.
Hidden somewhere.
Not even a letter,
to say she was there.
It was all so perfect,
till the roses drew blood.
Against the thorns she bled.
Staining white petals, red.
Her once perfect garden,
took away her last breath.
As she lay motionless,
upon her death bed.
And that's where he lost her.
His mind full of dread,
as he found,
her holy garden,
with bath water red.
Now the roses stand taller,
waiting for seduction to consume.
For their victims to fall,
to the sweet smell, of perfume.
~ M. J. Parker, Crux
The message behind this poem is about the true reality of suicide. Though it may seem like an escape from life, a holy garden where you can smell the roses. This is a romanticised view, when in a low state in life you can only see this way, but it's mislead. Remember the thorns on the roses, the pain it will cause to others around you. This poem is to tell you to STOP! Think twice, your life is worth value, and there is another way, no matter how much you are sick of hearing that. You are important.
