Bitter Rose

I know I usually write songs but listen to this poem. The reason why I wrote this is at the end of the poem.

I can smell the bittersweet rose

it's peddles sparkle as the stars above

Sun shine and clouds

An array of light always shines 

on the rose

My attempts to shower it with love works no better than water

it's thorns prick my fingers 

Her stem strong, her roots deep

and cold as the dirt they lay in

Nourishing something so delicate takes time

Time that which I do not have

and cannot afford any longer 

But time keeps my love steady

I begin to worry

is my love for this bitter rose enough?

I wrote this for my best friend's gf since he kinda sucks at writing his own poems but he does manage to have his moments lol.
