A single rose you presented to me, So deep and dark black seemed likely; Oblivious to the sign fate had sent me, With a smile, I accepted it gladly. Not free of thorns, thus it pricked me, Stealing blood to sign my destiny; "Now you are mine, one and only," Through my mind you spoke softly. Captivated a look, charmed with you, Breathlessly I replied, "So mote it be." But never again will I give my heart away as readily, Only to be treated so carelessly, Never again will I trust as blindly, Simply to be betrayed and left empty. I gave my heart but for love fallacy, I sold my soul for promised immortality; What use is it now without you here with me, Trapped in this web I weaved, Without entity, forever, for eternity....
