【The Rose】
By Jade
Let’s not water it
let’s put it under the shade, and
watch wild weeds climbing over her delicacy
soon, we would be all free, from her
sad eyes
After all
it was a rose, planted by
two pairs of hands, and
needed to be tended
by two hearts
Until today, she still makes me smile
when I think of her
her grace in cold wind, her smell
and most of all, I was not the one
who decided to quit
