A Rose

Maybe it's black.

By Patricia ClarkPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

A rose so red, hidden in the back

It seems darker than that, maybe it's black

There is a dream in it that wants to get out

How though when it cannot ask, beg, scream, nor shout?

A silence comes over the area where it sits

Somewhere dark where the sun never hits

It will never get a chance to grow

Love it will never know

A rose so red, hidden in the back

It is so much darker, maybe it's black

sad poetry
