(99) A Crushed Rose

A crushed rose lies on the snow
Broken petals red like blood
She lies defeated, a lost glow
Grasping thorns that cut her skin

Her heart lies hurt and tattered
Only a white robe from the cold
No love, for it never mattered
Her body now a victim to the chill

Feeling rejecting and cast aside
Bitter feelings are now her curse
Like the rose, she feels dead inside
Uncaring of the cruel touch of Winter

No one could mend her ruined heart
No one could now warm this lost soul
She will forever feel she is torn apart
From the uncaring one who did her wrong
