Rose

In the silence where shadows play,

A faded rose, its colors decay,

Whispers of love, now ghosts in the night,

Memories linger, out of sight.

Faded petals, a story unfolds,

In every mark, a heart that holds.

Oh, this rose, a bittersweet tune,

Painted in shades of a gathering gloom,

Every petal a promise shattered and torn,

In the silence, a new hope is born.

Time drips like dew on my skin,

Each line tells of a battle within,

Searching for peace in this stormy haze,

Lost in a longing, lost in the maze.

But I still dream under the stars,

Feeling the echoes of who we are.

Oh, this rose, a bittersweet tune,

Painted in shades of a gathering gloom,

Every petal a promise shattered and torn,

In the silence, a new hope is born.

So hold my heart in this inked embrace,

A love that lingers, time can't erase.
