A dozen black roses,
wilting one by one,
fading away with my life,
if only i had someone….
11 black roses,
giving an aroma of death,
laying by my bedside,
if only i weren’t this…
10 black roses,
burning into pieces,
shattering along with my heart,
if only love had sweetness….
9 black roses,
not very many left,
the feelings of defeat,
are starting to get to me……
8 black roses,
the time is coming near,
coldness is coming in,
and darkness is becoming a fear,
7 black roses,
the curtains blowing slow,
the wind is swimming all through the room,
even through my soul,
6 black roses,
only half of them are left,
my life is draining away,
if only i weren’t this way,
5 black roses,
perfectly aligned,
if only life wasn’t over,
if only i had more time,
4 black roses,
almost completely gone,
listen to that deadly music,
such a dangerous song,
3 weathered black roses,
slowly bleeding now,
like thorns stabbing into soft skin,
it’s almost like a sin,
2 weathered black roses,
still burning into the bed,
the sent of death is stronger now,
I’m losing all that’s left…..
1….very wilted black rose,
it’s the only one that’s left,
for it was left in my hand,
as i slowly reached my death….
