Rose

What Beauty could I behold
What love I could watch unfold
To see a peace come to pass
To see the petal fall as last
Yet here I stand
With no thought but her
While I should tend to it
I think of her

The feelings I get in presence
The depression I feel without her scent
I need just some more time
To figure the end to it all
To keep that rose from its inevitable fall
To answer fate's horrid call

How do I survive without her here?
How can I manage to keep her near?
How can she even bare my face?
To witness such a Beast's embrace
What sane person would ever love me?
What insanity would keep me from being alone?

I do not know
I do not question
I will run
I will seek
I will do all I can
Just to see her one last time

So as I dash away from fate
As I break through the castle gate
As the last petal of my rose withers away
I hope I get my one more day
With Beauty I behold
Where Beast does not take control
