Rose Bud in my hand
it peels open to greet the sun so bright
It illuminates the surroundings with its
pale, pale
white

Hello Beautiful
Welcome
Give us hope
Give us something to strive for
Stay Beautiful

Day by day
the petals unfold
til one day
the petals go cold

Blood Seeps through
The pale, pale
white
Highlighting it’s veins
and  erasing it’s glow

Sorrow falls down
and erases the crimson
but for a moment
tears bring the relief
from the blood rushing

wilt
wilt
it’s dying slowly
it shrivels and
goes brown
death is upon you

So much promise
wilted away
