She, The Young Rose Was Set To Bloom

young rose set to bloom
dawn's light awakens my soul
beauty in red shines

Her graceful dancing brought on great applause.
I was unworthy, bad temper the cause.

As her eyes spoke to my sad, longing heart,
Crystal palaces shattered within my soul.

Angel that once inspired great hope in me,
Her singing voice kissed my soul quite divine,
In my heart, Heaven then lifted the sea,
Spirit said walk away, she is too fine,
Decades shall pass, before you find sunshine.
