Rose and Thorn

All rags of time have had me waiting
		For your response yet pending,
		Shall loneliness befriend you as I?
		The time may not be better right.
		
		Blame me not for those,
		Your folks caused my woes,
		I’ve got no heart now but stone;
		If I let you in, you’ll like others roll.

		I shall clear your woes,
		Build you a throne –

		Halt! I need none of those!
		I’ve heard more from the wolves
		Who gave me the life I now chose.
