The Rose

I feel empty, I'm dying inside
A withered Rose-
no longer filled with pride.

I'm no longer whole,
Wilted with time
I'm missing a part of me,
It's something I can't find

My laugh is hollow
My eyes are dim
Im filled with sorrow

My hope was gone
Im no longer a rose
vibrant and soft
I've been waiting for so long

My petals have fallen
Im left with only thorns

They pierce my world
and drain away my life

I'm not but a withered Rose,
faded with time.
