forsaken
a brash man plucked a rose by it's stem
his eyes deceived
and his mind impulsive
he was cut
his rough skin broke
as blood poured out,
and tainted the delicate white rose
its sweet scent, defiled for copper
its delicate petals stained
taken aback,
he dropped the stained rose
among the meadow of flowers
as it was forsaken
