Covered in leaves <br />and left for dead <br />beneath the bridge <br />Where he made her bed <br /> <br />Along the I-45 <br />She lies lifeless and still <br />Her life fading to nothing <br />for his psychotic thrill <br /> <br />The sixth rose tattooed <br />upon the devils chest <br />The sixth rose <br />The devil did molest <br /> <br />A light of hope <br />pulled her from this grave <br />Inner strength and courage <br />Her soul did save <br /> <br />She wont let him destroy her <br />She will not let him win <br />She will fight the infection <br />And wash away his sin <br /> <br />Too weak to live <br />But too tough to die <br />She stays holding on <br />As her family standby<br /><br />nicola burkett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/53-a-rose-too-tough-to-die/
