BURTON D'POET

 I pointed out to her  She pointed out to my heart I cried out to her  She held me close to her heart I wished it could go on forev er  But deep down I longed for more What seemed forever  Was gradually fading away in the air  Her scent is stuck with me  I still love her

  I made a mistake  When I accepted that bribe  In turn for my silence  My people suffer  I am to blame  Poverty amasses me  When I should have spoken up  I took the bribe  My silence was bought forever  Now I am helpless  In uncertainty and waiting to die  But I will die a failure

 I am a rose  I am beautiful I got flaws too  You pluck me  I hurt you  All you have to do  Is take care of me  I am covered in thorns  Because of past events  I use them to protect me  Many love the beauty  After using it they throw me away  So I got thorns  Go slow I hurt
