I'd rather be a statue

I'd rather be
a stone statue
standing
admist
lovely roses
in a trellis garden
with ominous thorns

And have songbirds 
resting
on my shoulders
to lighten
my burdens with their
tunes

And to see nothing
but
roses staring back at me
And to feel
only
like a rock

Or 

perhaps
I'd fair better
to be a fountain

'twould mask the tears
