Roses

by Michael   Dec 21, 2006


An assortment of roses
From a loved one to you
To express all their feelings
And especially them to you

Faltered at this
She open the case
To see who sent the package
Covered in lace

She dug deep in the box
And pulled out a rose
It shown crimson red
Brighter then most
The first for the memories
That we always shared
A reminder to me
That your always there

Struck by the thought
She reached in once more
Pulled out a pink rose
That matched her room door
The second for the dreams
That helped me to sleep
I dream of your face
And our love to keep

So very happy
At what she had found
A vivid white rose
More feeling were bound
The third for the poems
That I've given to you
My feelings on paper
So heartfelt and true

Growing excited
She reached for a catch
Red, pink, and yellow
Where all in the batch
The fourth for the late nights
The fifth for the time
The sixth for the attraction
Between you and I

Confident from her findings
She reached in the case
What she found next
Was a little out of place
A crumpled black rose
Laid by her feet
The seventh for the lies
That you always told me

Unsure of the findings
She thought it was old
but the next black rose
Was darker then coal
The eighth for the Love yous
That never meant much
Were all washed away
By you superficial touch

Horrified at the note
She tore at the case
Three little black roses
Stared back at her face
The ninth for the sorrow
The tenth for the rain
Eleventh for the kisses
That were always in vain

Her feelings were hurt
her soul bruised and battered
She threw out the box
As if it didn't matter
But unknown to the girl
One rose still there
In the back of the case
With a devilish black stare

The last for the pain
That you caused me to feel
You Had me convinced
That our love was real
I know what you did
And you know it was bad
Or love is now done
Although it is sad

An assortment of roses
I have sent to you
To hope that new love
wont be this shady and blue

Sorry for the length but here was no way to shorten it please vote!
