A Yellow Rose

A yellow rose for my best friend ever.
A pint of love for your care and consideration.
Here's to all the joy in the world,
And endless happiness,
Because I know you care.

A yellow rose for you, my dear;
My love for you shall never die.
Through thick and thin, we'll stick together,
Forever and after, I'll be here.

A petal lost, my sad, sorry friend.
That pull of smoke just cost you my respect.
Your staggering lack of sobreity brings me to tears...
I could have sworn that you were better than this.

A thorn in my heart, for me, such a fool...
You pulled away when I needed you most.
You sucked the nectar from my soul,
And left the poison to swallow me whole.

A noose for myself,
Such sweet pain to follow.
You never heard me when I screamed your name,
Now the time has come for an end without sorrow.

A Zinnia for the one I love most,
With pint of love,
And a hint of cyanide:
To remind you that although I tried to make it work,
You always tried that much harder.
A yellow rose for the one who deserves it all!
For the years you spent suffering more than everyone else,
For the times we shared that led to my pitiful downfall.

"You sucked the nectar from my soul,
And left the poison to swallow me whole."

It is not what happens to us in life that defines who we are as a people, but how well we rise after we fall. Your poem depicts a very sad story, but irrespective of what happens, remember that there is always a greater purpose in everything that transpires in our lives. You are quite young and have much to live for. God gave us hind-sight to correct the errors we make from our yesterdays so that we can use the new wisdom with hope for better tomorrows. So go back, then, to the choice mercies of yesterday, and though all may be dark now, light up the lamps of the past. They shall glitter through the darkness, and trust in the Lord, till the day break, and the shadows flee away. God Bless, Sheriff Ali
