A Dead Rose

A heart to me is like a rose. Big, full, starts out small and blooms. It's delicate, pure, soft and silky. It is made with sharp thorns to protect it. There is that instant happy feeling the moment you look at them, and most importantly it's alive.

What happens when the rose wilts? Does the heart wilt too? As they wilt the colors slowly fade, and the leaves begin to fall like tears. A rose's petal is soft and silky, and it's how you feel deep inside; when your heart is full. You're happy, loved, and care-free. Your walls are up for protection, as a rose uses it's thorns for it's protection. So enlighten me, and tell me what happens when a rose starts to wilt?

It dries up and everything falls apart in the end. Some prefer hanging them to their walls upside down, some throw them away, while others flatten them into a book; but why? I take each petal that once was beautiful, and I peel them off to store them in my vases. Didn't this rose once show a symbol of "I Love You"? I thought it did anyway.

So, what happens when the heart dies? Do we treat it so? Do we let it hang from the walls we built? Do we throw it away like it's garbage? Or, do we peel it apart and put it at the bottom of our vases? I just don't even know. I clearly don't understand.

My heart is much like a dead rose... therefor my heart must be dead.
