Black rose

A storm blew over

it swept everything away

my heart, my soul

nothing I do or say

would fill in that void, that hole

A tear,

for every minute lost

every minute that could have been ours

it hurt to look at what it had cost

a room filled with charcoal black flowers

My chest hurt,

the lack of existence of you around me

trying to replace it in there, in me

no matter where I looked, it was you I'd see

just one wish, one plea

The air around me,

intoxicating

completely dull

suffocating

my mind as hollow as an empty skull

I felt an arm around me,

I turned around

hoping it was you I'd see

but nothing could heal that wound

that emptiness inside of me
