What do you think this poem is about?

A Black Single Rose.

A single black rose.
A single black rose to carry the load,
A single black rose to turn the road,
A single black rose to touch the soul,
A single black rose to widen your hole,
A single black rose to melt your heart,
A single black rose to force a start,
A single black rose to make you cry,
A single black rose to make you dry,
A single black rose to help you climb,
A single black rose to make you lie,
A single black rose to take a life,
A single black rose to take away strife.

    It is very pretty poem.I Just don't like all that repeating.You could have achieved better results with just saying the first and the last sentence of 'A single black rose'.But that is my opinion.
