Thoughtful Rhymes

The Wilted Rose

At first I was a rose,
A shiny apple on display,
Your heart normally froze,
When you saw how my hips would sway.

You loved the way I talked,
My eyes when they shined,
But then you just knocked,
My heart down and declined.

You thought playing hard to get,
Was better than saying yes,
But I didn't bother to break a sweat,
And left you like a dirty mess.

Then you started bothering me,
Trying to get me back,
But you would scare me more than fill me with glee,
Which made you backtrack.

Soon enough you got to the top,
And forced me into your arms,
I was just a silly prop,
Used because of my charms.

You just wanted to be popular in school,
And you left me when you finally got there,
You thought you were cool,
But I'm the only reason you became heir.

As soon as school finishes,
You'll leave me on the ground,
The light in my eyes diminishes,
Because of how much I've been wound.

My heart has been ripped apart,
And filled with fake shit for display,
I wasn't allowed to depart,
Or let things go my way.

I couldn't do what I wanted to,
If I did I would be punished,
Sooner or later though, we were through,
And your own wish was soon unwished.

You left me for dead,
So I'm no longer that lively rose,
Enough was made and said,
The rose you no longer chose.

Am I supposed to apologize,
For my broken heart,
They take one look into my eyes,
And they don't even bother to start.

Now I'm wilted and decayed,
And it's all your fault,
Left broken and betrayed,
Because of your assault.
