Today I seen a rose shed delicate tears
Crystal droplets falling from the petals
Shimmering against the sun light
Rainbows color grace the glow, beauty with sadness
Falling, slowly sliding down to the thorns
Where no one see’s and no one knows
Disappearing into the earth
Silent tears never known
Captured through some eyes
With verse and remorse
The rose given in love
But withered through the years
Forgotten are the days of love
Leaving remnants of what was and will be no more
Where no one see’s and no one knows
The tears shed by the rose
