Sad Rose

A single rose

Apart from all

Of immense beauty

And poisonous blood

---

Always alone

In a sea of red

In the beautiful garden

You tears fell

---

They were you companions

All that you had

Yet you hated them

For what they had caused

---

You were the first

You should have been last

Yet you died

To protect you light

---

The petals flew away

As so did your life

Still you smiled

When you started to fall

---

It wasn't in vain

The sacrifice that you made

It wasn't for nothing

The pain that you felt

---

After all this time

They still stand

You faithful companions

Continuing you task

---

Now I see you face

With a different soul

And I can't help but wonder

Is your saddens gone?
