Summer Rose

Our friendship had once blossomed fair.
A summer rose whose petals shone.
More beauty that the world has known
Was hidden in the wonders there.
Our shaky roots had taken care
To brake through soil and stone
And on the majesty unknown
My eyes would rest as I would stare

But with the summer roses leave
Their petals fall and die
Till all you find is prickly thorns
That cut through skin and sleeve
I realized with a tear and sigh
My heart and hands were torn.
