Black Rose

Black Rose

Extravagant velvet petals
Show their dark intentions
Voluptuously enticing lust
Sensually destroying love

Facetted saphire foliage
Captured sorrow inside
Adicted to our sadness
Impervious to this reality

Forlorn silver thorns
Gleam of sharpened pain
Wanting to cut so deep
Can't heal and won't scar

A lonely black rose
Rests on her gravestone
Symbol of those lost hopes
The flower of the apocalypse
