Amongst the yellow rose she chose to linger <br />Reminded of the love she hoped to find <br />Pricked by the thorny yellow rose upon her finger <br />Reminded of the love she left behind <br /> <br />Scarlet drops of blood fell from her hand <br />Reminded of the tears she once had shed <br />Pricked by the life she had once planned <br />Reminded of how her heart had bled <br /> <br />Lifting her tear stained face toward the sky <br />Reminded of the better times ahead <br />Pricked by the loneliness of her sigh <br />Reminded of this place where love lay dead<br /><br />Paula Robinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-graveyard-2/
