The petals
Which were once a deep crimson
Blacken and wither
They fall
One by one
Until the bud
Is bare
Petals fallen
Bled to the ground
Like blackened teardrops
Streaming down
Crimson rose
Will you never cease
In your slow unrelenting death
Will you wither
Will you fall
Death becomes of you
Without the slightest word or sound
Sadness and sorrow
Futile redeption
Of pain and suffer
No love
nor warmth
Just the cold
The cold with no end
Another figment
Another symbol
Of love and passion
Dead
Dead without wake or mourn
Nor a single regression
Of saddness
Or eternal sorrow
Crimson rose
A death
The vanishing
Of a soul left to decay
Given a thread
Of false desire and hope
Now withered
Now lifeless and dead
Left to roam
Through a chilling breeze
Left to remain
But in an existance so scarce
Crimson rose
