Black Rose

by Latasha   May 19, 2006


Cutting through her sorrows,
The razor becomes another enemy,
Burning in remorse,
Her eyes slowly shutting,
Another petal falls from the rose...

Melodies of his soothing voice,
Drowns out her fears,
Never able to realize the pain yet to come,
Tears shimmer down her face,
As another petal falls from the rose...

Remembering all the smiles,
As he promised he'd never leave,
Gone from her life with no regrets,
Another cut appears,
As another petal falls from the rose...

Unable to see the truths,
Not willing to hear his good-byes,
Her heart breaking to the silence,
Another cut appears,
As another petal falls from the rose...

Her body lay suffering,
As her scars are now noticeable,
Her life ending,
As the black rose lays there in solitude...

    Another pedal falls from the rose...
    ^ in this line, pedal is actually spelled petal

    and

    As the black rose lay there in solitude...
    ^ in this line there should be a "s" after lay

    but other than that it was great! keep up the excellent work! 5/5

    I liked how you used contrast in a sence where its talking about a soft and delicate beautiful smelling flower and a cold hard shiney blade.
