cream roses

you say it hurts.

your eyes itch more than ever;

the sneezing never stops

you want no more pain-

but I always loved your cream roses.

you threaten to kill it.

spread poison across the soil,

watching it seep into its roots

shrivelling up, colour now fading-

but I always loved your cream roses.

you like winter a lot.

i guess it' because the buds disappear,

the thorns its last prickly reminder;

it's future now mostly bleak-

but I always loved your cream roses.

you give up in spring.

packing your things stubbornly,

you know you should've killed them;

the colour teasing you tenderly now-

but I always loved your cream roses
