A/n: It's been a while. Life's been busy, but hey I got bored and was able to come up with a little something.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you ever seen a flower bloom?
Petals unfurling under the moon
Leaves swaying along the sweet monsoon
Stems drawn to the wind and its lovely tune

Have you ever seen a flower grow?
Radiating off its fragrant glow
As you admire its beauty in sun, in snow
Admire its beauty is all you'll know

Have you ever seen a flower's thorns?
Sprouting out, toxically born
Poor flower unaware of its own scorn
Flower unaware why it's forlorn

Have you ever seen a flower choke?
By its own thorns and fragrant smoke?
A petal wilted with every stroke
A petal gone each time it woke

Have you ever seen a flower die?
Surrounded by its own petals dry
Left with traces of its every cry
Left to look at with regretful eyes

***

Have you ever seen a flowers thorns?
Without the petals, only its scorn
Leaves scattered, wilted and torn
And wished you could've just plucked it's thorns
