Solitary Rose

He knows not of roses
But of the purest of hearts,
Enveloped in thorns
As his hands bathe in blood.
He sheds not a tear,
Nor does he wail in pain—
Simply embraces the beauty
As if it were of the finest gold—
And the pedestal of which he places
The purity is, too, protecting,
A single, solitary rose
Behind a wall of thorns,
Thick enough to shower a city
And show no remorse,
None at all.
