A thousand sighs escape my lips,
Countless aching beats pound within my chest,
Endless thoughts drown my restless mind,
And yet only a single moment has passed me by.
Roses are as red as my eyes that gaze upon them.
Eleven roses wilt as night turns to dawn.
Only one shall feel the warming kiss of the sun.
My twelfth rose.
You my twelfth rose have gone astray.
Hopeful thoughts cannot be contained within a vase.
Hope.
Longing hope.
There's a sudden change in the air amidst me.
For I know with every breath that passes my lips,
every beat of my pounding heart,
Every thought generated deep inside my mind,
And in the very depths of my innermost soul.
I know there is a brilliance that cannot be forgotten.
My twelfth rose.
