A Withering Rose

The night has drawn
My eyes are like the wilted roses 
They have lost their beauty 
And crispy appeal
But my mission 
I feel 
Is strong 
So all nightlong 
Where my light shall carry 
My pen will quiver 
And try to deliver 
A line or two 
For you 
In hopes you shall find 
My words envelope your mind 
With the glory the rose once held 
And I shall not rest, till my eyes are swelled
