Love is like A Rose

Love is like a rose

a pleasant touch and good to hold

as its beauty will eventually unfold.

Its breathtaking scent gives off a fragrance

that captures one's attention

and releases heartfelt tension.

But when that rose smell

starts to die the fragrance

begins to reek like hell.

Then you become scorned

with hurt like a rose stem

filled with thorns

However, as the rose you embrace begins to wither

and fade away, another rose appears

with colorful cheers.

The pain slowly dies away and

the life cycle of the heart’s evolution

will start over to a brand new day.

Even as we try to let our pain go,

our life feeling complete because we don’t give

the rose the ability to grow.
