Nessa

He gave her ten roses,
nine real and one fake,
and promised to love her
'til the last one had died.

She left him too early
before she had known
how truly incredibly
hard he had tried

But he took his one rose
and wept all alone
'til his friend came along
and taught him how to feel...

And she said This black rose
will turn red someday soon,
will not die, but will bloom,
when what's fake becomes real.
