One Blue Rose by pharp
Choose a Color writing prompt entry

 

You gave me a blue rose to say goodbye -

Your thorny farewell pierced my soul to cry

To pipe, a tune of hurt, bursting with pain -

Your words were hateful with nothing to gain


 
The love of my friend - you were pursuing 

While the love we shared you were undoing
 
Your actions were unkind and indiscreet...

My heart ripped apart, with hurt and deceit


 
I’ll air out the sadness which you have caused

The overwhelming grief has simply paused

Despite all of your lies, I cannot hate -

Broken promises will not seal my fate


 
No longer a puppet to string along
    
I stand before you, beautiful and strong

Determined to heal, I'll have peace of mind

Memories of you will be left behind!
