Broken bottles hold black roses

By Darkest_Addiction

broken bottles hold black roses

from a dark and dreary past

the roses never wilting for

their lives untouched by change

the bottle holds a pint of

blood to feed the roses need

these roses have lived for ever

and will for eternity

they will not wilt or crumble

to them death will not come

held by jagged broken bottles

and fed by tainted blood

it goes to show that only

the broken hold the eternal

truth

darkness and pain...

    I like this alot, aside from the closing line of darkness and pain. It seems out of place to me, but I'm only an observer. Aside from that minor quip, I like it. Nice write.
