prompt number five

By to love a psycho

Does thy life destroy
The object you so desire?
By overcaring
It wilts in sorrow
Too much love
Is like overwatering
Drowning in the end
While not meaning to
Nothing ever happens
For no reason
The death of a rose
Brings only new life
More vibrant and beautiful then before
From decaying matter
Only beauty survives
On the coldest of days
It will survive

    Inspirational. Gears are always turning I believe, so I get this. I can't help but think of the priest apothecary from the Leo version of Romeo and Juliet reciting these lines though. Strong lines. Nice write.
