Dear black rose,
please soothe the turbulence in me.
I do suppose
it's time to free
the secrets of immortality.

How long ago was it
when you came into my possession?
I could state the bet
and receive the life of my love as my win.
But it's already been set
for us to be together never again.

And you are all I have left
as my daily reminder.
While with every breath
will never be any kinder.
