Rose

I Have a rose, beauty filled with every petal
Built with a strong stem, with proper posture as to say
“Look at me!”
Covered with the most vibrant colors that would
Fill others with jealousy
I have a rose, with thorns as sharp as nails.
They were acute little daggers, and if I were not careful
Blood will be drawn and the sharks
I have a rose, filled with care and performance to stand out above the crowd, like a shining star that burns bright all alone in the night sky.
It makes me feel warm, safe, and gives me purpose
It fills my sense of fulfillment, as it needs constant attention everyday,
And in return it blooms its beautiful bright colors for me
I had a rose, it was beautiful from the root to the flowers on its head.
I would take hours out of my day just to stare at its beauty, and many more to give it the affection it craved.
It was silly of me to see that this wouldn’t last forever
For nothing is eternal and no power in this universe can make something last forever.
