A Maiden's Heart

[Dark Muse]

A Maiden's Heart

There was a sweet rose
shivering in the snow
through the long winter night
waiting for summer's sun
to part darkness with light.

There was a sweet rose
wearing her colors proud
with a pure lover's blush
alone she passed her days
with a gentle winds hush.

There was a sweet rose
trapped in her memories
for a lover now turned to dust
still she keeps growing strong
while her heart turns to rust.

There was a sweet rose
queen upon her hill top
yet always bond a slave
for never would she leave
her only master's grave.
