Life is like a rose…<\/p>\n

You gave me a rose
\nDeep crimson
\nSoft petals arranged so carefully
\nIt’s beauty radiated
\nLighting me<\/p>\n

You gave me your hand
\nSmooth strength
\nWild eyes could see through me
\nYour revealed desires
\nCaptured me<\/p>\n

You gave me your heart
\nBlood pumping
\nGreat life maintaining strength
\nYour love poured out
\nInto me<\/p>\n

You gave me your soul
\nDeep being
\nFantastic dreams waiting to be reality
\nYour spirit alive
\nConsumed me<\/p>\n

Then…<\/p>\n

You left me alone
\nCold darkness
\nShadows dancing on the walls
\nSilence screaming loudly
\nAround me<\/p>\n

The rose petals have wilted
\nOnly the thorns remain<\/p>\n

Cheryl!
\nAge 27<\/p>\n\n\n
