Roses and thorns,
lead me to you.
In a canopy,
of roses you lie.
Saddened heart,
now petrified.
Unwilling,
I lose this fight.
Roses and thorns,
on my hair,
broken stems,
are everywhere.
Such intoxicating fragance,
love's poison you've injected me.
Only,
you and I exist.
Sacrifices,
are long gone.
You're love has surrendered me.
Roses and thorns,
on my hair,
broken promises are everywhere.

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

Excellent use of a metaphor, I relate very deeply!

Take care,

beautiful and too true. i liked the "loves poison" line.
i read a quote once that asked if we should mourn because roses have thorns or rejoice because thorns have roses.

awesome lesson. good times.

You gotta love livin, cause dyin's a pain in the ass.

Broken stems, broken promises...that first were born of love. Beautifully painful.
