Blue Roses

you're all pale skin and purple eyes
and all the sun I'd ever hoped to find
one for the books,
a dragon frozen in time
things may be unsaid
but that doesn't make it less true
songs and praises,
and a rose in the color blue.
I never did mind
but now I know
we will always regret
the things
we never wanted to show.
fire in your eyes,
and ice in your touch,
a mind as sharp as a sword
and a heart as gentle as
the bed you laid me upon.
the bard stole the lady,
did he not?
just as you stole me.
history repeats itself perhaps,
every generation there's a relapse.
silver satin hair,
and dark lilac eyes
they said you would have been the greatest
and you were
the greatest
I've ever had.
how you are remembered,
holds no thread of shame,
capable,
a knight would say.
honorable,
the rest would
but no one knew you like I did,
you cut so deep,
I never quite healed the same.
the last dragon,
you were fire made flesh
the prince who was promised,
and now you're dead.
