Poets Corner

Loving A Rose
By Alexandria J. Eliason

To him she is his everything
The one who makes his heart sing
He would die and live for her
If she had cancer he would find the cure
Loves her more than life itself
Has a picture of her on every shelf
And she is a rose beautiful and cruel
In the end she will play the fool
She treats him like a door mat
Walks all over him until he is flat
But he can't help but love her
Even though it kills him
Her thorns wrap around his heart
With each different boy they dig deeper
He's constantly broken and fallen apart
But back for more just one more chance
She begs him on her worn out knees
Promises it won't happen again
With silent tears he let her back in
She is just a rose beautiful and cruel
But in the end she'll be the fool
When it's too late to change he'll already be gone
As a rose comes to life it will also die
And when she has lost her gardener she will be lost
Breath will escaper her lungs, light will fade from her eyes
But with her luck she will stay alive
Forced to watch him be happy without her
He will fall in love with someone else
She will be left behind wishing she had changed
But he will move on because....
Loving a daisy is so much easier than loving a rose
