When you planted
That first seed
In my consciousness
A feeling
A chorus of emotions
Like the petals of a rose
My love grew
Blossoming
Into something beautiful
So beautiful...
It overshadowed
The thorns beneath
For every petal
That bloomed
Another thorn
Would appear
Never noticing them
Until your presence
Was no more
Then I felt
The sharpness
And the pain
But when I looked up
I still saw
The beautiful petals
Reminding me
That their beauty
Overshadows the pain
Beneath
