Title: The Rose

Poem: I used to be a vibrant, vivid red rose,
Thorns have robbed me of life I suppose,
My flower is limited by the strength of my seed,
My leaves are withered and love's what I need,
If I were nurtured, would I be more lovable?
Will they ever see me as even acceptable?
The beauty of the rose was there to behold,
Will it be warmed by sun or killed by cold?
No-one can tell me just what lies ahead,
Please love this rose, be she alive or dead.
I know not where to find love, where to start,
And so my rose exists without any heart....
