In this field where red roses die, turns black and shrivels and dry, Is where tulips thrive, Yellow and white they multiply, Dyed grey is the sky, As storm clouds roll by, An icy wind bites, despite The raging fire inside. Here, love is despised As all is deprived. This is where dreams, hope, and desire Shall meet its demise In solitude, due time.
I wrote this when I read that yellow and white tulips represented unrequited/ one-sided and hopeless love
