• I stand alone
    Out in the open
    With nothing but a rose
    Laying limply in my hand
    A rose is such a beautiful thing
    Symbolizing love
    Passion
    Friendship
    Everything I don’t have
    I pull the black petals
    Off this once beautiful thing
    I pull them all off
    One by one
    And they float away
    Gracefully in the wind.
    Leaving me
    With the dying stem
    With its thorns
    That cut so deep
    I start to bleed
    And my blood hits the ground
    I stand here waiting
    For my Prince Charming
    To come and rescue me
    Rescue me from myself
    He’ll say
    ‘There’s no reason for you to hurt anymore’
    ‘No reason to feel pain’
    If only
    There were such things
    As fairytale endings
    People like me
    Wish upon a star
    For our happy ending
