Rose Garden

You've made me a rose garden out of your love

But you've plucked out all the thorns

So the roses grow beautiful but weak

I pick and pull at them

And they fall effortlessly to my feet

Where they tangle and wrap like vines

But where one rose falls

Three more sprout in its place

Just as pungently saccharine as the rest

Forever unwilting

Eternally beautiful

Never ending
