I saw a rose one day smiling up at me
So I bent down and smelled it ever so slightly.
The sweet smell of it’s fragrance brought back happier days
Of when her love was pure like that of the sun’s rays.
I took in its sweet smell of desire and mystery
as I thought of passed days of the pain and misery.
I noticed the day was ending, the sun was becoming dim
So I quickly grabbed the rose and pulled it from its stem.
A sharp pain in my hand, a rememberance of my mourns
That every perfect rose has it’s flawless thorns
