renee martin - A rose

The rose is a beautiful and majestic symbol.
When you look at a rose you think of love or hope.
But yet, when just one petal shrivels and falls the rose
is no good anymore.
Even though it still smells the same, still feels the same,
still has the majestic glow.
You still throw it away
Because it's not balanced not perfect anymore.
