Black Rose

It’s dark like the night
still feminine and sweet
but it’s petals
it’s wonderful petals
have turned black and
it’s lost its innocence

Wild and wonderful
it once was
full of life
breathtaking and beautiful
bright like the sun
nothing quite like this one

But it’s starving now
someone picked it
didn’t care for it
it faded fast
it couldn’t last

It’s sad and lonely
in a city it once loved
searching
seeking

It’s dark like the night
still feminine and sweet
but it’s petals
it’s wonderful petals
have turned black and
it’s lost its innocence
