The Rose Within
Location
A rose sat within my heart
Closed off from the world.
It dare not show a single petal
In fear it would wither away.
So it stayed in my heart,
Encased in a throne of thorns.
The light of day could not break the chains
Nor could the most savage of fires burn it down.
But then came you,
And with your tender touch
The thorns shattered, revealing that sacred rose.
You breathed your breathe onto its leaves
And with your warmth it began to bloom.
So now the rose that sat in my heart
has left its home and is now with you.
