I was the rose, <br />You were the thorn. <br />You protected me when I needed it most, <br />But you were in my side and made me unlikeable. <br />It was hard to choose, <br />Do I let you stay and protect me, <br />Or do I shake you off just to be beautiful. <br />But wait, <br />What are you doing, <br />You're falling off. <br />Now it's not even in my power to decide how close I am to you,<br /><br />Cheyenne Ashley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wilted-thorn/
