Roses are red, violets are blue.
I came up with this poem of mine,
Wondering about you.
How could this rose in my hand,
Remind me of the things you did?
When I was lost and not have found,
Just like the petals that fell on the ground.
I was just like this rose that bloomed,
But then you came and I am doomed.
You picked me up and I never thought,
To my end you had me brought.
I was helpless in your hands,
My heart crushed into pieces.
You were cruel, you were mad,
Still I love the moments we had.
Just like a rose I thought I was,
To be adored I thought I must.
But you've seen me just as not,
Like a rose I never was.
