Black Rose

You were the one I allowed to get deep inside

The one that made it seem I had nothing to hide

You were the one I never thought would fail

The one I had thought the others would proudly hail

I gave you everything that I had

All good things not just the bad

You had my heart, my love and trust

Never did I know I’d be betrayed for lust

You made me think there would be no more pain

Little did I know you would bring endless days of rain

You picked me up when I could barely crawl

Only to cast me aside, leaving me in a tighter ball

I had opened up and hidden nothing

Did this scare you, my feelings being too unrelenting

You blamed me for it all without a reason

I’ll know till I die I never brought on our love any treason

Had you wanted me once again to be broken for you to fix

What’s this darkness inside of you that conjures these sick tricks

As hard as it was for me to tell you to go, continue to walk away

I am much safer now albeit dark and alone this very day

I feared I’d miss you, being tortured and cold

Now I only think of you when I see death, a Black Rose
