Rose Seeds

He planted a rose seed for her They told him that red means love He gave it the sun and she gave it water It grew into a beautiful red rose bud & then it bloomed, radiating a beautiful spectrum of red from each petal One day she grabbed it to inhale the scent But the thorn pricked her finger She watered it less often He stopped bringing out the sun The red began to fade He cut it and brought it inside One last attempt to bring it back to life But cut flowers don't grow The vase fell over and broke The water evaporated The red leaked out, leaving shades of brown Until the last drop was gone
