A seed planted
Forever in you heart
The growth seemed so simple
Feed it water, give it sunlight
Watch it bloom

When a rose is planted
There's more to the story
No one warns you
About the thorns
Constantly pricking you
Always losing a droplet of blood
Continually clipping weeds

So what happens when
The pricking becomes stabbing
And droplets become waterfalls
Weeds grow uncontrollably
Until the beautiful flower
Becomes the ugly Thorn bush

Even still you fight for your flower
All through the stabbing
The river of blood
And the unruly weeds
You fight, pull, and tug

Until someone points out
That the gorgeous flower is no more
For there are only weeds
And you no longer
Have anything
Worth fighting for
