The Scarlet Rose

written for Scarlet Rose

Forgotten love, and broken heart
tormented soul being torn apart

A life once whole, a heart once loved
covered now with ice and snow

Betrail that stings and numbs the heart
like a winter rain on naked flesh

Hatred and fighting that cuts the skin
leaving its mark, its lasting pain,
drawing blood again and again

But through it all, on this chaotic plain
stands a scarlett rose defying the world
not giving in, not giving up,
singing a song that only she knows...
