A Black Rose
by Jonathan  Albrecht

A single black rose
It signifies my heart
One single black rose
Signifies all bitter and tart

We started a devine white
That signified our love,
As it matured gradually
It turned as beautiful as the dove

It slowly transformed, darker,
Blooming to a lavish color gold
We were on out way to eternity
Going wild, uncontrolled

Darker and darker it turned
Now it was the brightest of red
But it was from here where it went bad,
It is here I awfully dread

For the rose got too dark
Turned once perfect, now an auburn gray
I had never thought our love would go wrong
It was white...gold...red where I wanted to stay

Now the rose it black
Darker than the bitter cold sky
The night I gave you a single white rose
And you sadly said, "Goodbye"
