No Tempting, Blue Roses

Is there such a flower as a despised blue rose... the one I desperately chose to sign end under a sad story, which had neither passion or glory? With tears so rageful, she thought it was the final goodbye; why I didn't choose a more charming rose with a different color, perhaps not as red as her unfaithful heart? It wouldn't have been a lie! Ever since, I have shunned and hated blue roses despite their splendor. They tell me that the reason for my unbearable loneliness is the urge for touching a face slipped from my grip and will; if I am to blame...why did I love her with intense sweetness, and nothing was returned besides a promise so brittle? Let me see only red and yellow roses...but no tempting, blue roses; I couldn't relive moments rejected by a woman so deceitful and ravishing, and she smiled as they did, but that trust was distant from the beginning... marring the lovely appearance of that blue rose standing out from others.
