Rose

My Rose, my valor,
My rose, thy thorn,
My Rose, my heart,
Thy thorn, my blood.

Bitten by thy thorn,
I have fallen,
My blood has been spilled,
For naught but a rose,
For all and my Rose.

I lie here,
I grow here
I will gorge myself,
Upon thy steps,
And I will grow,
Beyond thy thoughts.

I am strong,
I am valor,
I am thy petal,
I am thy thorn,
I am thy will,
I thrive in thy sight,
And bear thy shadow.
