Wilting Roses

Roses are so beautiful
And yet deceitful in their many aspects.
How does a rose point towards love?
It dies soon without care
Given unto it by the careful.

Love is a lot like a rose...
If not nurtured and pleased
it will soon wilt and die.

I hope that your love doesn't wilt.

Aren't we all, in fact, 
Wilted roses...?
Those of us without the love to sustain us...
Keeping our buds pure and true?

You see, 
A wilting rose to me,
Is Crying.
