A Million Roses

A story of a girl named Shauna and her million roses.

A rose for every pain Shauna had; you can just imagine how many roses fill vases, glasses, windowsills, pots.. Shauna had a Boyfriend. He broke her heart. One Rose. Shauna had a happy family. Her parents divorced. Two Roses. Shauna had a cat. It got ran over. One Rose. Shauna had friends. They left her behind. Ten Roses. Shauna had a life. She sacrificed it.

Nine Million Nine Hundred And Eighty Six Roses aligned her grave.

A sad and beautiful poem. I like the use of roses to try to repair a sad life. The flow and story was very good.

true a bit depressing but painfully beautiful.. it has the elagant grace of a rose but also the pain its thorn would give you... very very beautiful and well written...
