Crushing all hope
not an option...
yet so tempting
cries unheard
death... not so absurd
life with no love,
not an option...
but somehow,
something keeps me alive
that beautiful flower
so covered in black,
yet filled with red
love that's bursting to escape
i pray for that rose
it will make it, i know
my hope
all but gone,
all but lost
so alone
my heart died a long time ago
yet i'm still here
alone
and i will NEVER forgive myself for that
i am stupid- and worth nothing
because i don't have the guts
to take the easy way out
but in the meantime,
thank you, my beautiful red rose
