A Rose

I am but a Rose
unfolding slowly
until I am full bloom
revealing all of me

If you look closely
you will see the scars
bits and pieces that
have been damaged
in the process

While your looking
you will smell my scent
it is there
so you will close your eyes
and no longer see the scars

Touch me cautiously
for I have a bite
to protect me
so you will treat me
gently

Take notice
my roots grow deep
this is a representation
of my love for you
