Oh rose on vine,
Kissed by the morning dew,
How I envy you,
your sacrifice.
Singled out for affection,
severed with care,
To be held by my love
as she brushes you to her cheek,
Gaining her favor.
How I long it to be me that feels the softness of her skin,
And shares her smile.
Covetous of a simple flower,
Willing to die,
if only to be reborn,
At her touch.
