Deceiving Rose

Destructive rose with your thorns Elegance deserving to be forlorn Stabbing those who hold you close Deceiving those who love you most Called by any other name, just as sweet? How about betraying, beguiling, or disaster to complete Lonely rose, receiving love Yet only reciprocating with sharp pointed shove Then someone reaches out Reality piercingly clear You're certainly lovely But never loving, my dear
