The Yellow Rose
Yellow rose, when you first bloomed,
 
 There were thorns filling your vase.
 
 The chance at a greenhouse is what I assumed.
 
 Well, that was not the case.
 
 At first I was content with you;
 
 Admired you, and kept you close to my heart.
 
 But soon your perfumed scent turned sour.
 
 I guess I had known it from the start.
 
 Though, it did not matter either way.
 
 You have never belonged to me.
 
 To change that there is nothing I can say,
 
 And now I clearly see
 
 That I was always just keeping a thorny stem,
 
 But I love you still, and yes, I loved you then.
