Rose

I know I can't have this,
This desire I must hold,
Maybe it makes it sweeter,
Maybe it makes me cold,

I know that I need this,
This aching in my heart,
Just a few more touches,
Just to let me start,

I know that it pains you,
This pleasure I feel,
It won't hurt long,
And time willl heal,

I know I am grieving,
These tears tell no lie,
Take one last glance,
Take one last cry,

I know I am dying,
My eyes start to close,
Please gentle beings,
Please take the rose.
