The Rose

The Rose

Like the rose

You bloomed in spring,

As summer came

And birds would sing.

The rose's beauty

And it's grace,

Looked just the same

As did your face.

Your sweetened lips

Pressed up to mine,

The taste of dew

Like summer wine.

And like the rose

Your love would fade,

The beauty gone

Like promises made.

And as the rose turned

with bitter haste,

I finally learned

It was a wastes.
