Why, people ask, does the rose weep? <br />Every morning, more tears fall. <br />They fall and fall, the droplets falling in sudden bawl. <br />But still they don't understand. <br />Why does the rose weep? <br /> <br />I understand why the rose weeps. <br />All you had to do was ask me. <br />It cries for the hearts it has seen, <br />over and over again broken. <br />Its sorrow goes unspoken. <br />It just cries, <br />a stream of tears, <br />soft spoken. <br /> <br />So, now, <br />do you understand why the rose cries? <br />Why it sometimes looks so bowed, <br />so low to the ground that it looks like <br />an old soul bent with age? <br />Why its spirit always seems stuck in a cage? <br />Why it seems to be the sage of broken hearts? <br /> <br />Do you understand why the rose cries?<br /><br />Danya Qattea<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-understand-why-the-rose-weeps/
