Why Roses Cry

Folder: 
Love of my Life

Those dropplets

on the rose

are not dew,

They are tears,

shed because its beauty

pales next to you.



The weight of it tears

causes the bend you see,

Realizing its fears,

knowing your equal

to never be.



To put it out of its misery,

Cut it and put it in a vase,

where its soul is set free

to enjoy you in its place.



No more pining

No more tears,

There is a silver lining

So be of good cheer.



It had its time

its beauty flew,

Cherished its last

moments with you.

Unique perspective, and the poem itself is beautifully deployed.
