JC Brul Poet Diminished Hexaverse

My Only Thorn

I am a rogue rose
                                    with only one thorn
                                     near my last petal 
                                 that sways with the breeze~
                                     amidst the daylight

                                     My thorn sees me
                                     with eyes so deep
                                     and hugs me tight
                                     with arms so warm

                                         I love him~
                                           My only
                                        One last thorn

                                         who cares~
                                           to guard

                                             Me.
