The thorns from the red roses I received <br />Pricked my finger to make me bleed <br />As my finger bled red <br />The red roses turned black <br /> <br />The black roses drained my blood <br />Until I had no strength left to stand <br />I fell to the floor with nothing left to see <br />Depression sets in as I fall asleep <br /> <br />I woke to find myself in darkness <br />Only to rise again in the light <br />The black roses bleeding me to near death <br />But with the thorns no longer in my finger tip <br /> <br />The hole left in it was still bleeding <br />And the blood dripped on roses <br />Turning them blacker than they were before.<br /><br />Jade DragonHeart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bleeding-black-roses/
