Black Roses

Each and every empty night, for mercy I plead
As darkness invited me, grabbed me
Took me to my valley of grief

……….Black roses blossom
……….They touched me and I followed

Glorious sadness waited for me, like a thief
To defeat me, rob me over again
Once again, I was hallow…
But this was the last time
Oh, I knew…

And now, these black roses enfolding me,
Hiding me from my love
Ever so flawlessly

……….But don’t cry,
Oh, don’t cry for me baby

Those thorns don’t hurt me anymore
As they blossom on my grave
Ever so graciously

……….But don’t cry,
Oh, don’t cry for me baby

I will never let you go
Your memories carved into my soul
Ever so deeply

Each and every lonely night, for your love I cried
As fate drew the night across my eye
Bathed me in my tears of love

……….Black roses blossom
……….They touched me and I followed

My demons drove past the back roads of my mind
To hold me, lead me to my end over again,
Once again, I was dying…
But this was the last time
Oh, I knew…

And now, these black roses enfolding me,
Hiding me from my love
Ever so flawlessly

……….But don’t cry,
Oh, don’t cry for me baby

Those thorns don’t hurt me anymore
As they blossom on my grave
Ever so graciously

……….But don’t cry,
Oh, don’t cry for me baby

I will never let you go
Your memories carved into my soul
Ever so deeply

” what i want, i never get “

I can’t believe how Long its taken,
Or how we got here.
Ive loved you since forever,
Yet only for 4 year.

I want our lips to touch,
And our hands to hold.
I want to feel your body,
Comfort me when i am cold.

I want to kiss in public,
And not to be afraid.
I want to live together,
In a home that we have made.

In the morning when we wake,
I want to see you smile.
Tell me that you love me,
And that its all worth while.

I don’t want empty words,
Or you to tell me lies.
I might seem vunerable,
But deep down i am wise.

My only dream i wish,
Is that someday it shall come true.
That you will love me,
As much as i love you.

Eh-spelled vulnerable into vunerable.
But an amazing piece nonetheless!

I like how you used the black rose at first as an iconic symbol. And, also the last two lines were deep and heartfelt. :)

This was great to read. I loved the repeating in this poem. And the imagery of the black rose. And the ending was great as well that described the speaker's love for the other. Two thumbs up!

I like this poem. It's very well written. I did spot a few errors, but it's mostly capitalization. Other than that, very good.
