Black Rose

fragile and tender
quick to surrender
beautiful and kind
we are interwined
quick to love
slow to judge
great are you,
black rose of mine
I will love you,
for all of time
you sway in the wind
I pray your hurt comes to an end
be strong and live
never give in again
stay the razor from your arm
no more self inflicted harm
may your last be your last
let the past be the past
live in the present
let me remove your torment
I will love you for all of time
beautiful black rose of mine
