Roses

Roses 

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I sent you flowers 
To work just to show
My love for you. 

I wrote you poetry 
And I tried to learn 
To dance too. 
To make you happy and 
Put a smile on your face. 

You told me that other 
Men never treated you
This way. 
With all the compliments 
And love that I had displayed 

But unfortunately to my
Dismay. 
You never had feelings for me
Well at least not in a loving way 

But as long as roses still bloom 
And God gives me another day. 
I will continue to love with my heart 
And not turn cold  with a heart of
Stone. 

I have my regrets but loving
Is not one. 
It’s giving my heart to someone 
So cold and untrue. 

But I’m the bigger man and I
Wish you the best in all you 
Do. 
God brought you into my life 
Not as a blessing but a lesson 
To learn from too. 

But as long as flowers and roses
Still bloom. 
I will continue to love with all 
my heart So pure and true.
