Rose

A single rose to last her whole life,

Save it for when you are a wife.

Her mum said it’s all she will get,

But on the night, she forgot the threat.

One single, perfect white rose,

Gone forever- this she knows.

It all happened way too fast,

But she cannot change the past.

The rose is dead- lost forever,

If only she had been more clever.

But the boy was kind- had loving eyes,

Hating herself- she should’ve been wise.

But on the night, she couldn’t think straight,

A kiss would soon escalate.

Her life had been planned to a tee,

but the door was shut and she’s lost the key.

She knew what could happen if not careful,

So now she has become prayerful.

Dear god, don’t bless her with a gift,

Or her whole life will soon drift…

Into one of a child’s- it’ll become her all,

Oh, dear she has begun to bawl.

She should’ve listened to her mother,

Or at least confide in a brother.

She’s lost her rose- forever its gone,

Now she’s unsure how she will go on

A single rose to last her whole life,

If only shed saved it for when she’s a wife.
