A Confession To the Red Rose

Though People think you are so soft
               But I know in your veins is blood
Who want to touch you in the croft,
               Whose heart submerges in zeal's flood
                              And your attraction makes them bleed
                              To hear, it seems cruel, indeed

O rose, your thorns always hurt those
               Who want to pluck your soft flowers
You hurt when the danger is close
               You leave when one quits your bowers
                              And in that way, you save yourself
                              And so keep smiling like an elf

But, I'm a man, I have no thorns
               I have my hands to do my wish
In pleasant form, I am like dorns
               And to catch birds, I can say pish
                              But I am more harmful, I think
                              I can hurt someone in a blink

I have a tongue to say such words
               Which can break someone's heart to core
I soaked in blood thousands of swords,
               All is for me, is not that sore?
                              Any rose never plucked a rose
                              Who cuts own heads, I am in those

I am not fragrant, that makes me
               Think I'm not perfect, I should have
Everything, of need that can be
               So, I can spend my life in rave
                              You are so soft but have no wish
                              And I need you, I'm in anguish
