&quot;We&#039;re all a little weird, and life&#039;s a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it LOVE.&quot;<br /> -Dr. Seuss

You gifted me with the rose of your love
I possessed the hard but
Delicate beauty
For a while
Then you ripped my treasure from my hands
And bestowed it upon another
In payment
Leaving a jagged thorn
Embedded in my gentle palm
I pulled and pried
I cried in pain
The thorn drew my blood
It stays there, stuck
As a harsh reminder
Of the bittersweet rose
I once mistakenly loved

Wow! This is a great poem. I really like it and it is really true. There are those people that really hurt us and it is hard to forget. It is a sad truth. You wrote it beautifully. Thanks.
