I have one pink rose
She's a beautiful one
I lift her to my nose
I do it every time, but I'm still not done
She smells like perfection
She looks like sunshine
All she needs is a little affection
I see all her ridges
I see her crooked stem
I see all the broken bridges
I curse all of them
But still her petals make a perfect curve
And the color so vibrantly pink
She never got what she deserved
One more drop of rain, and all her petals sink
