Black Rose

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....

In response to this poem, I would suggest you become a gay. Homos don't have to deal with all the crap in relationships that we normals do, since they've had to work so hard just to get Official Bummer status, and aren't likely to screw it all up over something so silly as who forgot to take out the trash. Think about it.

Oh, and ace 'EE' rhymes!
