The pain inside is hard to bear
For those who know it well
His body though with no clothes
Is tightly caressed
With the thorns of a rose
It cannot be seen by the naked eye
The carrier doesn't show it
Those outside never see it
It's the pain inside us all
Not all feel it
Most ignore it
It's easy to hide
It's the pain inside
So hard to see
Yet, so easy to let go
He hides it from life
From all he loves
Yet one sees what is wrong
She talks to him
The thorns caress her body also
They try to help each other
And both of them caressed by the thorns
Swear to keep each other
Then both are consumed by thorns
And they both go under
Into the black
Where there is no turning back
And they know they are doomed
The thorns that caress
Cause their deaths
A never ending battle rages on
Now both are dead
But their memory lives on....
Forevermore
