rose in my heart

I remember
That terrible date
When you had met
Your deathly fate.

With each day
It grows and grows.
The thorns in my heart
Branch from a rose.

The stems restrain
With much disdain
My every day
Is filled with pain

I wish I'd have changed it
From the start
That's why I live with
A rose in my heart.

There's symbolism in this (thanks Mrs. Tara) can you figure it out?? It's the rose btw. If that helps.
