Broken Heart

They say roses are red

And violets are blue

But not that roses have thorns

And love is not always true

 

I toss them away

Each flower in bloom

It scares me to say

That love is my doom

 

You linger in my mind

Bring a smile to my face

Yet I can’t help but cry

Knowing this is the case

 

I’m no rose

But I have my thorns

I hold no grace of violet

Yet I am blue and torn

 

No beauty am I

Not a flower to behold

For long ago I wilted

And died in the cold

I really liked that! Nicely written!

[Abraham George]

That's why Roses are the symbols of love.
Everyone in the world will pluck a beautiful rose without thinking of the Thorns that will make you bleed if you didn't care while plucking.
Same like that, Love will also end in Pain if you aren't careful.

[Anjali]

Wow... That's really good! I like the theme a lot, and the structure of the whole poem is perfection! This holds so much emotions and powerful feelings in it. Wow.... Beautiful!

What a lovely poem. Loved the first stanza the most. I liked how you have drawn a contrast between the lines 'Roses are red and violets are blue'.
