Roses are red
Violets are blue
I need to throw out this old tune
And come up with something newYou see
Not all roses are red
They have different meanings too
But red is the most popular
Yes
I have experienced it tooRed brings
Assurance to the insecure
A smile to the unhappy
Comfort to the lonely
Love to the smittenBut they can also be used to deceive
Mask true intentions
We focus on their beauty
Their self defined meanings
We concentrate on the beauty of their petals
And ignore the blade of their thornsWell that is until we stumble upon them
Only when we bleed
Do we realize that
under all those layers of beauty there is dangerBut because we choose to focus on the beauty
We miss the thorns which are out in the open
Only now that I'm bleeding and bruised
Do I see the clear signs of what I chose to ignore
If only I had taken time to look beyond your beauty
I wouldn't be where I am today.**********
