Dangling roses

Dangling roses

Dangling high
they always lie
withered and dry
so many at a time.

Once alive
flourished over my head like light
I was safe at night
with roses by my side.

Brown and torn
my heart only mourns
reaching for them I only
find thorns.

Why do they make
fun of me tonight
I thought love did what was right
however holding on tight
thorns make me bleed as I die.

    You're good at making your words flow, "Once alive
    flourished over my head like light
    I was safe at night
    with roses by my side." your writing just flows. I really like it. Also could you read one of my poems and give me some feed back?

    I'm in two minds about this poem
    One the one hand i love the concept of love taunting an individual and you accurately give off the impression of love as a cruel notion as well as the wondrous thing it is as well.
    However, I'm not so keen on the rhyme scheme, part of it seems a bit too forced for me and i think you should try not to rhyme for the sake of rhyme.
    but all in all i like it as a poem and kudos for the idea

    I'll give you 4/5 (cause i'm a mean critic) but I do like it and thanks for your comment on my poem :)

    all the best
