Melancholy Rose

She remembers the time when they first met
In the wind and rain she was soaking wet
He offered her his coat to keep her warm
And protect her from the winters storm

Numbers exchanged and phone calls made
Where dates were mentioned and plans conveyed
The tingling excitement before her first date
With the handsome stranger she had met by fate

Passions flame is well and truly lit
Butterflies fluttering in her stomachs pit
As she meets him there at the special place
Her heart's a pumping like it's in a race

The date went well, he's the perfect gent
An Adonis of love from the heavens sent
Arrangements made to meet again
To contain her lust will be a strain

Relationships nurtured and passions quenched
Her feelings are free and her heart unclenched
But slowly inside the Darkness arises
And poor old Adonis is in for surprises

The Darkness she hides conspires to kill
It lets her get hooked just for the thrill
Then it rips her life slowly apart
And from the beginning she has to start

Now poor Adonis he must die
Tears welling as she lets out a sigh
Resistance is futile this she has learnt
Defy the Darkness and you get burnt

So with a heavy heart she slides the blade across his throat
And watches the life fade from her sexy dreamboat
Now the Darkness has won and she is consumed once more
Sitting on her swing staring at the floor
