Rose of Life

Here I am sitting all alone.
No-one to share my pain and grief
And all the fires that burn inside me,
Though my life’s as cold as stone.

However I clutch you in my hands
And it gives me peace,
You are only thing I’ve got left,
Sending me to those heavenly lands.

I look at you and my eyes shine,
I take a breath and feel free;
Your spikes massage my fingers
And your presence is divine.

Maybe you stand for something more,
Someday you’ll come true
You’ll be here with me forever
And knock me to the floor.

You surpass me with your soul
And save me from the edge,
I respect your secret silence,
But I want to reach my goal.
