Black Rose


Black Rose
By: Adam M. Snow

My dreams are broken;
these words are forever unspoken.
I know not who I a;
I know I am a rose without a stem.
A black rose that bleeds red;
my heart is full of dread.

I try to go beyond this reality,
to a place they call fantasy;
trying to find myself.
For I am a black rose that bleeds red;
it seems, I am better off dead.

Loneliness I am, a lost ghost;
nevermore to be your host.
These wounds are a memory of our affection;
if only you could see my broken reflection.
You caused my hands, tainted by your blood;
now I have been swept away, by such tormented flood.

You left me in solitude;
all alone, cold, and nude.
I know not what to do,
all I wanted was to be with you.

You spoke of broken truth;
for you've showed uncouth.
I have withered away;
like a rose, no longer to stay.

I am a black rose,
tormented by woes.
It's just like I said,
"I'm only human, I bleed red."
