If once a love
If once a love was a love;
Thy rose never failed to bloom
Thus has, though under cold
Frost from circumstance above
Deceived thee of thy false doom.
Grower of thee why dost thou
Hold thy work upon thorns?
Ignorance blinds thine eyes
Yet masochist bleeds and allows
The rose to give to be given to who scorns,
Whose beauty lures seductively,
To wither those that don't know.
Again thy rose is pelt in frost.
Again thy love forlornly dies.
Thy rose never failed to bloom
Thus has, though under cold
Frost from circumstance above
Deceived thee of thy false doom.
Grower of thee why dost thou
Hold thy work upon thorns?
Ignorance blinds thine eyes
Yet masochist bleeds and allows
The rose to give to be given to who scorns,
Whose beauty lures seductively,
To wither those that don't know.
Again thy rose is pelt in frost.
Again thy love forlornly dies.
