Black Rose

I walk down the road with black roses

Ushering in the lusciousness in large doses

--:-(@

Swaying to the music in my heart, finding solace

Spiriting me away, to the land of promise

--:-(@

The land of my mind, my only safe region

At least I thought so, til this lesion

--:-(@

As I sail in the waves of dream and thought

I halt before a memory that is hard and taut

--:-(@

Delving into the memory, working and soothing it

It's oh so hard.. My strength won't permit

--:-(@

She's standing there, not letting go

I wish she wasn't in pain, with which I sowed

--:-(@

"Love, let it be, it's not worth it" I say

As my words fall on deaf ears, she stays

--:-(@

She's holding a single black rose in full bloom

Her grip so tight, ruby drops fall to their doom

--:-(@

"M'lady please, it's dying.. Let it pass" is my plea

Black tears stream down her face as she falls to her knees

--:-(@

The rose falls to the ground, finally freed

And she stands and immediately flees

--:-(@

Instantly the memory sooths and is soft

I continue to sail, in my thoughts aloft

--:-(@

"I'm sorry, love, this is what needs to be,

 be at peace, go be free"
