A Rose

By any other name

Could it be the same?

Had you lived another life without the sorrow and the pain

A Rose

By any other word

Your wish seemed so absurd

I knew I had to let you go, but I didn't know how much it'd hurt

A Rose

It's truly what you are

Your beauty captivated me

But your thorn left quite a scar

A Rose

Your memories of pain erased

Your life of sadness now replaced

I see the smile on your face

A Rose
