One Last Rose

One last rose
One beauty
One more chance to stay alive
One last victim
One last fall
One last tear for her to cry

One last rose
One last thorn
One more rip to tear your clothes
One last stitch
One last mirror
One last time to be exposed

One last rose
One last petal
One more image that went blind
One last life
One last dream
One last chance to speak your mind

One last rose
One last storm
One more lightning strike to breathe
One last drop
One last crash
One last moment now to grieve

One last rose
One last knife
One more time to cry those tears
One last scar
One last cut
One last time to face your fears

Roses dead
Beauty fades
A gravestone holds a faded date
Rain falls down
Leaves blow hard
Can't save a love that came too late

One last rose
He lays there on the ground
As tears, they push and shove
"I should have told her,
Should have said it...
My darling, it's you I love."

One last rose
A memory floats in the breeze
One last rose
One last chance that couldn't be ...
