WILT

 I tried
But the rose now wilts
Was it my fault
To invest all the effort to keep it blooming
Only to realize it had a season

As the soil seemed not to be ready
And water wasn't there to support my efforts.

***********************************************

We only talk about the glorified side of love
Forgetting what a monster it is
Some hide away from it
Only to find themselves wearing cloth of denial
Singing "what doesn't kill you makes stronger."

Forgetting,

it's the dagger that is plunge into the heart that is dangerous
But adamantly,
Playing the ignorant card
We race our hearts to slaughter chambers
Only to emerge heartless.

So I now don't blame them those that cheat
They were once loyal
But someone broke them
They once sought that special rose to tender
But they got left in the open.
