The Black Rose - A Black Rose
A Black Rose, <br />Glistening in the rain, <br />A sign, a symbol, <br />An insignia of loss, <br />It’s the Flower of Darkness, <br />Lying in wait on this cold winter night, <br /> <br />It represents the beauty of despair, <br />The grace of defeat, <br />The feelings we all find hard to bear, <br />The millions of people that have all loved and lost, <br />All behind this flower that holds us aloft, <br /> <br />Within its petals we drown our grief, <br />With its stem we clutch to what’s left of life, <br />Within its thorns we spite those who have set us so <br />And within this dark flower we find our peace, <br />The power to let go and leave the loved lie, <br /> <br />So with this flower we sign our hearts, <br />We accept our everlasting love, <br />And move on, <br /> <br />A Black Rose, <br />Glistening in the rain, <br />Ill forever love you, <br />Ill never lose hope, <br />But until you come back, <br />Here’s a Black Rose, <br />For my love…<br /><br />The Black Rose<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-black-rose/
