a drop of dew hanging from it's petal.
so sad to watch it wither away,
as it makes its bed for it to settle.

this once red, red rose is gone now.
nothing but its thorns hang from its sides and back.
some of us still dont understand how
such a beautiful red, red rose can turn to such a harsh and dark black
