Flowers of Pain

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

I will always keep,

This memory of you.

When I felt alone, and afraid,

You were there to say my name.

To show me I was needed and loved,

And over all, I was put above.

Roses have thorns,

Violets have petals,

You were silent,

But you were gentle.

What you lacked, you gained through kindness,

You were one of my many miracles, my findings.

Though you thought to be a burden,

You were worth more than that, Im certain.

Roses are rich,

Violets are sweet,

To have you around,

Was always a treat.

You were my wise one, one to look to.

Your words were sincere, your words rang true.

When there was something that bothered me,

You made me see everything so much more clearly.

Stems can snap,

And petals can fall,

And losing you,

Was like nothing at all.

The person you were can never be replaced,

If love had an image, it would be your face.

Your memory will be cherished all throughout time,

And I will never find a flower just as fine. 

 [Happy Valentines Day. May love overcome all your pain.]
