Red Rose

EYE'S SEE FLAWLESS GLAMOR
SHINES BRIGHTLY MISSING POWER
 
GLARES REFLECT PERFECT IMAGE
WHILE BLINDING HOLD UNKNOWN DAMAGE
 
MINDS PAUSE FORGETTING COVET
CONVINCING ONE'S TRUE LOVE IT
 
THE CLOSER IMAGE, STILL ONE GOAL
DETERMINED- YOUR SHOT NOT TO BLOW
 
THE ROSE YOU CARRY HAS ITS SMELL
SLOWLY SEEING HOW FAR YOU FELL
 
TRIPPED DOWN'S A BLINDING FIGHT
PRESSING TIGHTER THINKING THE RIGHT
 
ALL THE WHILE, YOUR BLEEDING ABUNDANTLY
PAIN IS NUMB, HEART CRYING SILENTLY
 
LOST GRIP, YOUR EYES ARE NOW CLEAR
OVERWHELMED REALITY, A SUDDEN FEAR
 
BLEEDING HEAVILY STILL, YOUR PALM IS BURNING
SEEING SCARS, YOUR MIND IS BOGGLING
 
YOU LOOK CLOSER TO DEAL- YOUR MISSION
AND YOU NOTICE A PAINFUL STATION
 
THE STORY ENDS ONCE YOU'RE ASHAMED
EVERY ROSE HAS IT'S THORN, AND YOUR THORNS ARE TO BLAME
