• Even Though It Is Dead

    One day a boy gives his beloved a rose it was beautiful bright luscious and red after a few months the rose was still beautiful as the first day he said to her that as long as their love was alive the rose would be and he said he loved her and she said it back for she truly did and the couple made love the result of this was a child in the womb she decided not to tell him for fear he would abandoned her and she thought herself silly for such thoughts but a war was according and he was drafted and he left with out knowing of his child a he wrote every day and she would wait by the door for each letter all day then one day he was in battle and the rose started withering and dying then the letter never came again suddenly a letter arrived and she was filled with joy thinking it was from him but to her horror it was a notice of death that stated that he lived for two weeks after his accident but died his funeral was a few weeks later the last time she looked at him she kissed his lips and said that even though he is dead he is still beautiful after the service she went home and wrote this poem:
    love,
    beautiful,
    red,
    fading,
    dying,
    death brings a new beauty,
    that no one can understand,
    it is the most wonderful sight,
    even though something is dead,
    it has a beauty that is unmatched,
    with death brings a new beauty no one,
    will ever understand,
    because even though it is dead,
    it is still BEAUTIFUL.

    Later their child saw the note and went to go ask her about it she said that he is her soul mate that she wants to be with him forever and that they both love their child and that they will always be with her
    the child got scarred and ran to find help when she returned she found her mother lying on the bed with a gunshot to the chest just like him and in her hands she held their beautiful red luscious rose turned
    BLACK!!!!!
