You've got the best of both worlds
Other flowers envy your presence
These people use you to praise their lords
You've got that nectar preferred by bees

What a beautiful Red Rose you are
Your attractive scent I adore
But on my finger is a scar
Made by those whorls I'm so unsure

Oh dear

You are strong but needy
You'd die in an empty vase
The sight of my thumb bleeding
Puts a smile on your pretty face

The whole world buys your kindness
Because those petals hide your thorns
Your crown doesn't fool me your highness
It failed to cover some inches of your horns

Tango your body language
Made for two but you solely manage
You brainwash all my baggage
With this cursive that I'm reading

You utter that I don't matter
The camera adores you as you pose
than me you are always better
That really hurt me dear Rose

The
Kind of words you say
They
Kind of find a way
Of tuning themselves into blades.

Without me you would be lost,
Without you I would be lonely
I won't leave at misery's cost
And this rain cloud over me

I will love you
Despite being the rose that you are
A pretty flower
Scattered with thorns
