It is the earth's hidden star <br />That makes life all worthwhile <br />The center of the universe revolves around her <br />As she overcomes a love that destroys most human beings <br />Forbidden love is a silent killer <br />For nobody ever talks about it <br />It's swept under the rug like an unwanted secret <br />Rose is a star <br />And she knows it too <br />She wears a purple ballerina dress <br />With her heart on her sleeve <br />Rose is a gorgeous light defined by natural beauty <br />She has an honest face and honest tears <br />She sparkles, she shines <br />I see a little bit of myself standing there <br />Along with the other aspiring roses that lead the way <br />I can't remember the last time I felt so inspired <br />As I place the crown on her head <br />She smiles as if the whole world is watching <br />The winds are a gentle force <br />Behind the mirrors of glitz and glamor <br />Rose is just a normal girl <br />Who likes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches <br />And a good game of miniature golf <br />A rose is a rose that's pure and simple.<br /><br />Electric Lady<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tears-of-a-rose-6/
