The Sunder'd Rose

Title: The Sunder'd Rose

Author: Lucent

All know my thoughts of her

Except herself

They see through me

To the other side

Yet I am not whole

For I am blind

To the one I seek

And she swears

Her death upon me

And I lament

For hers be mine

And I work

To help her

To save her

To keep her

The sky's color changes

From midnight

Till noon

And I see her there

Radiance filling

All that I see

Changing me

For better or worse

And the darkness

Slides away

To reveal the past

And I try

To save her

To keep her

To hold her

I might try in vain

But there are those

That support me

And encourage me

And they lift me

Back to the height

That keeps me going

And I stumble

And they help me stand

So I shall continue

For one goal

And I wish

To keep her

To hold her

To love her...
