the shining rose

The moment you first talked to me
is the moment I felt something glow
I could never have known that
soon a rose would start to grow

Through the dark and bitter cold
that was the master of my once so bright soul
the rose pierced right through the darkness
collected the pieces, made my heart whole

All that was needed now was a spark
our first kiss rushed a thunder through my chest
everything started to shine brightly again
those three words were absolutely blessed

I don’t know any other way to say
how happy I am to be able to hold you close
as I lay here with you in my arms
your head resting on the rose
