Remembering One Red Rose
Ascended below the twilight,
she wails holding his gold wedding ring-
Bemoaned in darkness one red rose was left
as an adored remembrance...
Life without love is l o s t...
Her pain and her loss reveals her forfeited fight,
she bleeds for a touch from an angel's ease-
U n r a v e l e d and despondent she longs to know,
why he didn’t tell her... about his deadly disease.
Mercy can’t mend woe-
The truth wouldn’t set her free while
grief led to her fate...
She dies from a broken heart-
On their tomb lays o n e red rose...
