A"rose" no longer*
Your love has not been pardoned
Giving up your heart in the garden
Cut down from ignorance, taken away from your home
Now to live with hurt on your own
False paradise in empty glass
To some it may be art in a vase
But your heart hurts so much such a painful sight
Fictitious this becomes, in illusion of light
Now you are to wither away
Sacrificing your heart, the garden no longer to stay
Dark shadows fill all around you and you cry
Love slowly leaves you and you are left to die
But that is how beauty to some is viewed
To give yourself up with the love that you knew
No longer can you come back and be planted here
Temporary beauty veiled no longer clear
