The Black Rose

by The Queen of Spades   Feb 1, 2007


Parading around
With your white rose
You seem innocent
Though no one knows

That soft, pure flower
In your hand
Is a cover of a lie
They won't understand

For how can they know
What you can't say
They'd never accept the truth
You can't shove away

And how could they know
Your stolen flower
Was the result of true evil
Leaving you weak, without power

So you're stuck with the shame
That nobody knows
What appears white to teh eye
Is a cold, black rose

    Another amazing write. Loved the flow with this poem and how you portrait the message "don't believe everything you see". One minor typo though... "What appears white to teh eye" should be "the eye". Other then that... excellent... 5/5
