Roses and Carnations Turned Bleak

We began as roses and pink carnations
Silk and pearls surrounded us
Settling together on a cloud of joy
But then things turned ugly, and our thorns grew out
Peonies pink the spine of our book no longer

It's a lovely write...I think I just needed more information (NMI).

That's okay; so many others think they did, and I am not sure I get it myself.
