"The dark muse waned from the Artist.
A lack of misery means a lack of art.
If real misery wouldn’t come in, artificial voices would do.
And so, the Artist disappeared into the Musician’s world.
Love and Inspiration have more in come than you think.
While they do create poems together,
they can be real or artificial
and they can die, by themselves or together
They say the Grim Reaper takes souls
but really, that’s his side job.
As to undo what Cupid done, he
snatches love away, or he
reminds lovesick fools that they can never find love like this.
An angel who reminds us that lust is a sin,
as if the Sandman and Bogeyman started working together!
Waking those in Dreamland, bringing nightmares and despair to the blessed!
Turning the day upside down to bring in the night
Has me falling into that red net of vines
And the muddled black and blue roses keeping them together;
No matter the outcome, I’m at a dead end for love!'
The Grim Reaper goes through a daily cycle like that,
taking love, falling into its mess, only to wake up in the day and go again!
Just like that—
Love, Inspiration, and the World are made of artificial things!
And just like that, they’ll all die off in the end!
The Artist woke up, reminded of three things.
They loved someone out of their league.
That person would never return their feelings.
The Artist wanted love.
Did the Reaper take it away yet?"

Blue roses are said to represent the unobtainable/the impossible. Black roses are said to represent death/farewell. However, other sources say these roses represent true love. Both of these rose colors cannot be obtained naturally.
The song that is meant to accompany this was a source of inspiration.

I recommend watching the video to understand the lyrics, or you can look them up.)
