A Rose

She hates roses. She always has.
A Tribute to a screwup.
Faithfulness Unreturned.
She's always so angry.

Roses are beautiful.
They signify love.
Does that mean?
She hates love?

How can this be reckoned with.
To teach her to love their beauty.
To help her see that its not
Out of Being Unfaithful that they come.

Its an expression of love.
A Flower that equals no other.
Its beauty consumed in the petals.
The freshness of it opening.

The heady fragrance of a new rose
Turned upside down and pressed
Open the book and there it lies
A Fond memory of the one who gave it.

Or an angry removal from the book.
Tossed to the ground or crushed
In a hand the petals turn to dust.
Is this how one should view love?

Tell me if there's a way to fix it?
A way to change how hurt she feels
The minute she sees a rose in any hand.
Outstretched to place it next to her heart

Please tell me what you think

    Nice

    I like it... makes me think about how odd our traditions are... we give a rose, something that will wilt and die rather quickly to signify our love...

    I learned a long time ago that perception is reality...and our perceptions of reality can not be pushed upon others...when we allow our own perceptions to deepen along the lines of others, we do our inner strengths a huge favor... life is a process of experiences...you are certainly experiencing life on a lot of levels...good for you for writing about it...peace and light, Kendal
