Your words, like a rose
Beautiful, but with thorns I fear
Fall from your mouth
And meet me here
In a garden of flowers
All laden with thorns
Look but don’t touch
My heart has been warned
The sweetness I smell
Draws me closer still
I shouldn’t touch
But my heart says I will
I reach for your love
To embrace your whole soul
Accepting thorns with the flowers
The parts as a whole
Your love like a rose
Brings passion and pain
Each moment we’re apart
Until I see you again
