5 | Demon Rose

"Demon Rose"

She's there walking in a garden of flowers,
full of mesmerizing rainbow colors.
Everyone was told to get a hold
of the most beautiful flower they want to own.

Every flowers can't help but dance
with the every touch of her soft hands
and the birds are humming
along with her who's currently singing.

Then finally a flower caught her attention
so she bent down and take a better look
of the black-colored thorny, twin rose
with the almost withered petals.

From being twins to one,
because she picked the most thorny flower.
Then looked back to the left flower and uttered an apology,
"Sorry, for I always prefer the worst looking things. One day, someone will come and get you, too, beautiful black rose."

Gently, she removed every prick,
put the flower in a jar of water
while swearing to give it a good care
because she loved the way it attracts only her.

"Surely, you're a beautiful, smart lady. But why did you pick a demon rose... when you deserve a bunch of angelic tulips?"

She, instead of getting angry
smiled then told him a story
while appreciating the rose's beauty;
"I've always been in love with belittled, worst looking things. For I know they also deserve an undying love."

"A demon rose full of pointed thorns were always a better choice rather than angelic beauties with a hidden prick that will soon give you injuries."
