[hometext] => Have you ever known the true story of a rose? When you are all alone, reflect in the shadows as the petals fall.
[bodytext] => I hold these petals in my plam, The crimson colors all faded and withdrawn. Once they were vibrant and bright, Like the love in my past, a memory, a light. Do you remember when they sparkled and glowed? So soft and fragile - like my love - I didnt know. The flowers slowly wilted, the petals began to fall. So I wrapped them in leather and hoped time could stall. What a fool I was to keep them, to hold on - Until the petals were stale and this love all gone. I stare at them now, my heart empty and cold, And wonder when the next story of a rose will be told.
