A black rose, a beauty that shows.
As pretty as it seems it's not what it shows to be.
A binding beauty of love, trust, and hope all crumbles to the ground without a sound.
Like the snow that gets covered in dirt, the black rose causes so much hurt.
Shining under a silver light, but like the tears that fall from the sky as it might,
breakdown with no sense of life.
A blinding beauty with a soul beyond repair, with no hopes to despair. A smile so surreal that you lose to see what is reality.
Don't love a black rose, for you will lose your sense of mentality.
Don't touch the black rose for you will lose the love you gave from the start.
Don't ever want a black rose, for it doesn't have a heart.

I believe that you should never feel compelled to explain yourself if you know your telling the truth.

Dearest Aviana, I admire your point of view so much. You compare life to objects so well. This is the best way for you to get your point across to anyone who defies you. You have a talent. A magnificent talent. I admire that about you. I'm the same way. Keep it up.

I like how there are different reasoning's for the black rose, it gives it more description and more power into the poem. Good work keep it up >^_^

WoW Very deep and poetic...I truly don't know what to say! The word choice, therhyme scheme, the way you gathered random words to form such a perfect harmony throughout the entire poem. It's simply amazing and wonderful. It is true as well, the appearence can so easily fool you. Great job on this!! Keep it up. 5 satrs of course :D

Wow. This is amazing, I wish there were more comments on this. It's like absolutely, amazing. It's very beautiful, dark, rather sad, and well-written. You have a talent and greatness in you: I hope you know that. You're a amazing and wonderful and talented writer and person too. Thank you for sharing this.

Really hard to come up with words right now, so good I'm speechless. The picture made me think of everything in black and white. I enjoyed how dark this entire poem was, as if you where telling us a myth we should be careful of. One of my favorite lines was, "Like the snow that gets covered in dirt, the black rose causes so much hurt", great imagrey. Keep writing :)

I can't believe no one has commented on this! I really liked this entire poem as a whole. It was sweet, dark, and the words you used were great!
