The world stopped,
Did you notice?
I fell for you off the cliff,
No baby this is no lie,
My tears aren't fake,
Yes! your words made me cry,
We held hands as you kissed me at the lake,
I smiled as my heart fluttered,
My skin tingled,
Then my heart stopped,

You walked away,
Disappearing from my sight,
I begged you to stay,
But you didn't look back that night,
I was a joke to you, wasn't I?
A fool to believe your every lie,
I wish I knew how to make you fall for me again,
I loved you in the spring,
I loved you in the rain,
But what I got in return was pain,
Break my heart,
Tear me apart,
I don't care,
It's hard to bear,
Loving you lead me to my death,
I loved you till my last breath...

           -The Unwanted Rose

____

Her composure cracked as she entered her room. Pale black eyes searched the room for something that could ease her pain. She was desperate. Desperate to ease the throbbing pain in her heart. She wanted to be numb again. Frantically she searched for something. She didn't know what she wanted to find but she needed it. Her pink curtains now lay around the room as she thrashed her room.

A smile lit her face when she found what she was looking for. Rosie expressed herself by caressing the porcelain doll.

"I am sorry mom. I lost him. Your princess lost the man she loved. He didn't love me, mom. He never did" She said her eyes stinging as she saw the dolls dead eyes staring at her. How she wished she could erase this pain!

She started feeling suffocated as her breath started coming in her pants.

"Please" She uttered the word to the doll as she held it to her chest.

"Please take me with you" She begged tears dropping from her eyes as she felt the weight of her loneliness finally hitting her.

"I can't live here anymore. Make me disappear" She begged the lifeless doll. She started getting irritated as she heard no response from the lifeless doll. Her eyes glared at the doll as she turned it around and opened the zipper on its back.

A cold smile appeared on her face. As she felt the sharp edge of the old rusted blade. It still held old bloodstains on it. Her blood. It has been a long time since she depended on the blade to make her feel numb. The whole childhood she had to comfort herself. Be his support. Tend her wounds. At the moment of weakness, the little her befriended pain. Pain accompanied her for a long. Then it disappeared when she met him. Her whole world changed as he enchanted her forever and made her fall for him. The absence of pain made her happy all those years. And she finally was happy. But then her life turned upside down. And her old friend was back again.

Caressing the blade she picked up the black rose from her bed and sat down on its edge. Testing its sharpness she let the blade trace the thorns. She felt relief set in as the thorn sliced off easily. It would be less painful then. She craved the numbness of the pain. She missed the euphoria that accompanied the numbness.

Taking the blade in her right hand she brought it near her left hand. And closed her eyes before cutting her wrist. Opening her eyes she saw the red blood oozing out of her wrist. The blood flowed from her wrist to her palm and slowly dripped on the carpet. Her heart slowed down as she felt the feeling she so desperately craved hit her. And she chuckled as the numbness set in. The pain disappearing with her breaths. Tears dropped from her eyes and she wiped it with her wounded wrist. The red blood felt hot on her cold face. And she got lost in the feeling of euphoria that the pain brought her.

She brought the black rose to her nose and sniffed it. It smelled better than before she realised. The black rose dropped to the ground as she felt energy leaving her body. Her hands turned stiff as she recalled her whole life in her last moments. It flashed in her eyes as breathing became a difficult task for her.

Her blood dripped from her wrist on the black rose. And then her heart stopped.

The Unwanted Rose wilted away with a last dying wish. A wish unheard by anyone except the black rose that laid in her blood pool.

"At midnight we met again,
Our clothes were torn apart and we lay there still the same,
You smiled at me but it was filled with pain,
I cried as the black rose took its blame,
The black rose cried out to the moon to reunite the lovers,
Its black petals glistening with their blood,
The unwanted rose shed its petals carrying their life force away,
And then after a thousand years it was reborn with the task to reunite them,
But time tricked it and the rose came in between them,
True love lives forever in the heart,
And that's what tore the rose apart

Tears and blood flowed as it repeated the rhyme,
Falling for you is truly a crime"
