A single red rose can say so much
it can touch emotion right where it hurts
can unlock silence it can shed tears
it brings a warmth, takes away fear
locking tears in its petals,
never to be released.
Its heart.  A crumpled heart feels the pain
A cold heart. The petals protect that
like it will serve you.
With emotion.  With a delicate touch.
It will absorb the hurt.  You will know.
Locking it in.  The feelings froze.
The belief in the single red rose.
