Painfully Magnificent

A rose bush is by my side,

ruby with droplets glistening wide;

I stare at it and wonder

why should it be beauty and love?


I despise this bush

and all its glory,

and I want to burn it

just so I don't have to see it.


Why must it mock me?

I don't understand.

I'm in pain

and it's mocking me.


What a cursed bush;

what a scornful flower;

what a hateful color;

what a pitiful idea.
