POEMS GALORE! (Part 2)

This piece is called "The Rose." It's a poem inspired by the flower which symbolizes love (when red lol). It's something I wrote in a hurry back in high school, but it does get the message of tender affection across, in my opinion. Please enjoy! :)

The Rose

How could something so delicate be so deadly?

How can something so beautiful be so hurtful?

You give me so much pleasure but bring so much pain.

You numb me with your astounding beauty.

How could one flower put so many smiles on peoples’ faces?

How can a rose mean giving away your heart?

You make me feel invincible and yet completely worthless.

Undeserving of such intricate, utter perfection!

How could I show you the amount of love I have for you?

The one true desire and the sole purpose of life?

I’ll give you a rose – the sweetest,

Most fragrant, and flawless one I could find.

You’re my everything and more – I dedicate this rose to you.
