Black Rose

Petal by petal my black rose is dying. Weeping blood as it's stem turns brown. With its beauty forever gone and its heart not beating, it shall die. His leafs fall off and his last petal unclasps from him. Finally, he is left in complete silence as his last black petal falls to his feet. As for him, he falls to the ground, dead, as the last petal hits the ground. -Kallie Mason

Cool words. I usually turn my roses upside down to dry them out, then place them in a book. I would never do that to a human being though. LOL
