A petal-less rose

There are times when we need to talk,
Yet the words never come out right.
There are times when we need to understand,
Yet the silence is always barricaded
Things seem to get complicated and confusing,
Leaving us to wonder what the other is thinking or feeling.
Often we let pride get in the way,
And we lose the power and sense to communicate.
What was once so beautiful like a rose,
Has been tainted by the petals that drop each day.
Leaving us holding with the thorns and wondering...
"...Whats the beauty that attracted us to this rose initially..."
Once upon a time my heart fell in love
And it wasn't ordinary everyday, simple love...
It was the need you, want you, can't be without you kind of love...
I would smile for hours, so thankful that I found you
So sure and so positive you were exactly where I was mearnt to be
All i now feel are the thorns in this rose...
There are times when we need to talk,
Yet the words never come out right.
There are times when we need to understand,
Yet the silence is like the thorns in this rose
