Love Is Like a Wild Rose

True love is like a wild rose

It can bring so much joy
Beauty and vibrance to behold

Then when you reach out to your hearts desire
The thorns cut deep and scar forever

Once plucked it can never be restored
The very thing you once adored

The rose will wilt and the colour will drain
A distant memory will be all that remain

This describes heartbreak and loss eloquently.
