The Wild Branch of Rose

Midnight gave warning The stranger's cruel arrival Would corrupt all the innocence she perceived in her heart She heeded it not And answered his knock Suffer me not this moment to say I'm sorry for all of the times that I gave You nothing but rage No flowers no page Of soft tender verse Though I give this too late I want you to take and place on my grave This wild branch of rose so that you will be safe From my endless hell that I can't dispel And it's intricate maze That's trapped you so well Years passed draining Her artful soul kept giving I cannot take it away This pain that I placed in your life But I leave this branch Your one respite I don't mean to break destroy or forsake It's just in my nature God made me this way Infallible of sin yet you let me in Again and again in the faith that you'd win Me over one day But I've lost my way I left you with darkness and nothing to say To wander in haze and ponder your days And your generous ways I surely have betrayed Suffer me not this moment to say I'm sorry for all of the times that I gave You nothing but rage No flowers no page Of soft tender verse Though I give this too late I want you to take and place on my grave This wild branch of rose so that you will be safe From my endless hell that I can't dispel And it's intricate maze That's trapped you so well The wild branch of rose (Will bloom in place of me) The wild branch of rose The wild branch of rose (Will bloom in place of me) The wild branch of rose The wild The wild The wild Branch of rose Of rose Of rose Of rose
