I Have a Rose

~o0o~

I have a rose and it looks just like you. I have a wish and I ask just for you. While I have been thinking of you I look at the rose and think, it couldn't look more beautiful, the blush, and the innocence, the purity like no other. When I think of you I lower my eyes and smile.

I have a rose and I look, why did it have to be you, the kisses, the love, the memories we shared you tore them apart like you didn't care. I have a wish and I ask that there be no happiness for you. You pushed and I crumbled, gave everything to you, now I'm crying and trembling, you've left me distraught. The rose that you gave has no meaning for me anymore. I cannot be sure if it was you or it was me but now I realize I was nothing to you. You took and I gave, you loved and I offered, all my heart and my soul, now you've taken the whole of me and left me broken and scraped.

I have a rose and it looks dusty and worn, I don't know why I have kept the things you have given when all I've got was my heart torn in return. I give these back to you as a token of our first love, I promise I won't think of you when I'm on my own. I'm empty and cold but I have yet still not lost my trust that one day I might, have a man that will love me like I do so wholly.

I have a rose and it's lost its entire colour, I guess over time now that I look back at it, it looks old and rusty like we first started. I laugh, I scoff and I shake my head for being so naïve I could've saved myself some of the heartache if I'd only seen.

I have a rose and I can see it's fully vibrant again. For the last time I turn around, shed some tears and confidently lift a bittersweet smile onto my lips. My youth is waning but at least I can say now that my life is sweet and my love life is rocking.
