Thorns
[Poem]

Thorns
By An Annonymous Writer

a petal for me.

a rose, for you.

will you accept? will you take this rose and grow with me?

don't let its thorns prick you, darling. it will try to deceive you; make you dread it.

remember who gave you this rose when it hurts you, because love hurts sometimes.

and sometimes, all we need is love and the pain will fade.

slowly but surely, let your pain subside.

think of me.

of us.

watch, as our love grows like this precious rose i gave you, and wilts as we part.

as long as the rose lives, my love for you will also be eternal.

eternally true.

as the petals fall

"does she love me?"

"does she not?"

we won't know til' the last petal falls,

and even then,

did you ever love me?
