An interesting simile here, Scott: Is a wilted rose like a broken heart? I suppose in many ways, it is, although rose bushes tend to go on and bloom anyway, shedding past losses. We and our fragile hearts can't always do the same, can we?

All the best,

Ben

Scott,

this is a wonderfully written poem, your rhymes and word choice are perfect....

"They both have been in the limelite
And yes of course center of attention,
The prize of a precious soul's heart
Yet both filled with lost feelings and emotions."

^^^^^ this is awesome. Genius.
