I Am A Single Rose


I am a single rose, a twin who has lost her other
I wonder if she knows that fate was wrong
I hear her voice calling out to me beckoning my soul
I see her standing before me, calling out to me saying,
"come I am here"
I want to comfort her, to tell her I care that I love her
I am a single rose, a twin who has lost her other.

I pretend she is here by my side, that fate has not played its ungly hand.
I feel her soul surrounding me, enclosing me in its light
I touch her mind and she becomes one with me.
I worry she cannot sense me, that she has forgotten who I am
I cry for she is not here; fate has taken her from me
I am a single rose, a twin who has lost her other.

I understand she is inside my soul, her mind dwells with me
I say that life is a gift that should be given to all and no man may take from another.
I dream that someday she will return in the flesh for her soul is already here.
I try to forget the pain of losing her, the hurt of not having her here.
I am a single rose, a twin who has lost her other
