THE ROSE THAT I GAVE

THIS ROSE IS FOR THE LABYRINTH MAN -

WHO FILLS MY THOUGHTS AND HAUNTS MY DREAMS,

THIS ROSE IS FOR MY NEW FOUND FRIEND -

WHO HOLDS MY HAND AND QUIETS MY SCREAMS,

THIS ROSE IS FOR MY GOTHIC PRINCE -

MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ANY SUCH FLOWERING JEWEL,

THIS ROSE SEVES AS A REMINDER OF SPRING -

I GIVE YOU THIS ROSE LIKE A LOVE-SICK FOOL,

---THIS ROSE IS FOR YOU---
