A black rose

• Artist: I-Southern_Sweetheart-I
• Description: This is about a small girl who I met in the hospital. She was an orphan and the person who brought her to the hospital for cancer, had abused her for three years as her foster parent. She was so badly beaten and bruised that it litteraly hurt her to lay in that hospital bed. I talked to her and she was telling me how she had only a few days to live and her only wish was to have a family that cared for her.

A black rose appears in the corner of my eye,
its wilted posture and faded leaves,
seem to cry.

A single touch could stop its pain,
it looked so lonely,
and it begged for rain.

A petal fell from it's sullen place,
it fell to the ground,
with such simplicit grace.

Winds blew the other petals away,
what had this rose done,
to deserve such treatment on this day?

I felt so much sorrow in this rose,
just watching,
as it's life came to a close.

I've seen every other flower in beautiful rows,
but in my heart,
I'll always remember this one black rose.
