Twenty-Four Black Roses

Deserted 
    Desolate 
    Destitute 
    Empty 
    Homeless 
    Isolated 
    Lonesome 
    Reclusive 
    Solitary 
    Abandoned 
    Alone 
    Apart 
    By oneself
    Companionless 
    Estranged 
    Forsaken 
    Godforsaken 
    Left 
    Lone 
    Outcast 
    Rejected 
    Renounced 
    Secluded 
    Sinking

    Twenty-four black roses
    Hanging around my neck
    Twenty-four hangmen
    Collecting on loves debt

A great message in this deep write my friend. We must teach our kids to rise after they fall. To cut the chains that entrap. To fight every day the evil that looms so large. To stand tall, spit in the eye of evil and give to others for that is the true expression of love.. Fantastic creative write a super solid 7 I give it. Wish there was a 10 to give..
