Black Rose

A single flower, unique from the others,
but never noticed as yourself
No one cares about your petals
or why you were placed on this shelf.

Your heart is different
as different as your meaning
your petals may be bright red
but to you it is demeaning.

Every rose has its thorns
but none are the same
you are not a duplicate picture,
printed to be put in a frame

No, while red on the outside
on the inside you are pitch black,
you are here to help remember
he's never coming back
