The trampled rose
Loses its colour
Tarnished by broken promises
Its sense of forgiveness
Buried in secrets
Of a horrid past
Haunted by failed relationships
That promised forever
But lasted for only a minute
Now the rose
Lies forgotten in the ruin
Almost like it never existed
Waiting for someone to pick it up again
To mend its broken petals
Then destroy it once more
makes you wonder about love
makes you wonder about love
