A Tainted Rose

   A kiss from a rose. So beautiful.
Sprinkle it with dew.
The warmth from the sunshine, across your face.
Song birds sing in harmony.

  A kiss from a rose, not in my world.
A dark cloud hangs over me.
Cold rain, stings my face.
The ravens perch, waiting for me to die.

  It more like a kiss from a thorn.
A thorn that stings, and leaves a scar.
A thorn that leaves me, a faded memory.


 I loved you so much, nothing in return.
Still I have a piece of you.
That tiny little thorn, you left in me.


 A tiny little thorn, so I can't forget.
Just enough to make me suffer.
A tiny little thorn, deep into my soul.

  The pain you left behind, when you stuck
me with that tiny little thorn.
Shall be with me forevermore.
