THE THORNS OF A ROSE

ID: 1137872   (Rated: E) THE THORNS OF A ROSE  Published fictional poem by SHERRI G ♥ WDC ♥

The thorns of a rose are sharp and cruel
Love used as a weapon by many fools
Make you bleed like a wounded soul
Leaving you empty with nowhere to go

Merciless are the thorns of a rose
How to avoid the cuts nobody knows
The search to elude them is difficult indeed
They embed themselves deeply, on your emotions feed

The thorns of a rose cannot be plucked
Knaw away at your feelings, leave you in a rut
Like sand in an hourglass, time slips by
Gone is the will to put up a fight

Dreams and the happiness you once thought of
Like the thorns of a rose, gone is the notion of love
Time heals all wounds as the saying goes
That’s before encountering the thorns of a rose
