A damaged rose still grows in the sunlight
Those missing pedals make it special in it’s own right
Take it without its thorns and you miss something genuine
So take time and respect the flower
The beauty brings you smiles in your darkest hours
Not its intent though
It is just a rose
Imperfect perfections are the only thing that it knows
It makes you feel loved
The color of blood
Drawn out of your fingertips
This is the one
I feel pain but I still wish to gain your love
I feel connected to you
This bud was my way to get the message to you
Don’t let it dry out
Don’t let it dry out
A stem cracked in half and pedals cover the floor
This rose meant something to me but you mean so much more
Drain the water that gives it life
Wonder what the intent is
Feelings are feelings
But my rose is still living
