A tainted sonnet

Shall I compare thee to a scarlet rose?

Lying on thy stem, is a tainted thorn

As I look at thee, nature's beauty shows.

Don't blow away in my darkening storm.

Radiant red portrays beauty in love.

Glistening green withstands the test of time.

Peacefullness spreads on the wings of a dove.

Shedding thy petals; a horrible crime.

Shall thy lie down on the grounds of my grave,

Where I died from a withered, broken heart?

You're at your weakest but thou must be brave.

This was our destiny's fate from the start.

How does thy passion feel so close to home?

When, in all truth, we were always alone.
