Red Rose

This rose is crimson Gifted with color in its soul But not as deep as this love For it’s colors don’t stop when we are full They keep going, Soothing our souls Replacing all of the emptiness And giving us something to hold onto Just one place remains empty In my hand where yours should be But not for long, as soon we meet Again just like we used to be This rose has layers Many petals that lead to the core But not as layered as the walls around me You took them down and they live no more Instead we have layers of... this Layers and layers of real magic Blanketing us like nothing else This feeling, this love- real magic And this one place may be empty In my hand, where yours should be But not for long as soon we meet Someday... when we are free
