What the Black Roses Did

It came in a gift box

Wrapped in black and blue.

Found it in my backyard

Where suddenly, black roses grew.

I held my breath

As the stench overwhelmed me

With thoughts that sank my heart

Which black roses reminded me of.

My heart seeked for comfort,

Something to cry on.

Yet all I heard was my voice,

Weeping into the empty world.

The dead air had drunken me,

Losing myself within it alone.

When I saw your name embedded on my broken heart,

I knew it was you who left me the gift box

and planted the roses,

That does set the world and I apart.
