The Iron Rose

The iron rose she lingers,
Waiting for nothing to begin.
Metal preserves her bloom
While it withers her from within.

On the eve of chaos
Through secret morbid bliss,
The silence is deafening
And screaming all of this.

Why does she laugh to cry?
Why does she stand to fall?
Try to look tough to seem good enough,
Risk everything to lose it all?

Her heart says now while her head says then,
She'd bleed from every vein just to breathe again.

She's grown to hate the love
From the depths of her glass heart,
They look, they smile and all the while,
Tear her down right from the start.

The iron rose, will she bloom again,
As she goes numb and breaks to bend?
Undertow, she sinks into worlds of pretend
Till her eyes ease open in the dark again.

intriguing

A great read. It gave me a vision of a dark, enchanted secret garden. Iron Rose is an exceptional title for your piece.
