Bad poetry I wrote as a teenager, Volume V

This is the first of my rose poems. I have pages and pages of rose poems. Crap about getting cut by thorns, petals wilting, etc. etc. You know, like, really original stuff. Anyway, I didn't put initials next to this one so I can't be certain who inspired it, but most of my "love is pain" poems were about my first boyfriend Satan, so I'm assuming this one is as well. It's untitled.

A fool will nurse a dying rose
Believing the beauty will stay
Religiously, the vase is filled
As the petals fade away

Such fools will salvage a dying love
As if they do not know
That when hearts do slowly wither
Then the love will cease to grow


Volume I
