The LIttle Black Rose

Once she was wilted
She had no sun or water
Then you picked her up
Slowly she became alive
She could feel her petals bloom
Her leaves uncurled
All because of the darkness you blew into her
The dark magic that overcame her and gave her new life

She vowed then that she wouldn’t let herself wilt again
She would always be beautiful and dark for you
Her lover, caregiver, the only sun she’d ever need
She gave you her love

You watched her everyday
Watered her, set her in the sun
Even held her as she shed tears of joy
For she knew she had been saved

Then there came a day when she couldn’t express how she felt
It was so hard to put into words and simple actions weren’t enough
So she decided to shine her best one day, and wrap her caregiver in the light of love
When he came to her that day, she lay her hand on his cheek and began to whisper
“You whom I love more than life itself,
You whom have saved me from destruction,
You whom have given me so much yet asked for so little.
How to tell you what you mean to me, I don’t know.
So all I can give you, is my love, my life, and pray it enough.”

Kissing her caregivers lips,
She took his hand and placed it over her heart
“This shall remain true only to you,
This shall beat only for you,
From this day forward,
I pledge myself fully, heart, body, mind, and soul yours.
Never shall you want for I shall give you everything,
Never shall your desires go unanswered for I am at your beck and call,
Never shall you be alone for I shall be your constant companion,
Never shall you have to face the light of day, without my love by your side.”

As the rose stood trembling, she waited for his answer.
