I Am A Vampire Rose

A lovely rose unfolds so well -
a keepsake given from the heart
to etch itself, so free of thorns -
a sweet memento deep and sound.

When given as a sign of love,
it finds a place to live and grow
with velvet petals that caress
to soothe the heart with happiness.

But, I'm that dreadful vampire rose
given by love that does not last -
eating away at memories
that in one's heart, remains inside.

My vampire fate will leave a wound
that stirs deep pain from long ago;
a sign of love that once fulfilled-
I morph to blemish what was joy.
