A Rose

I'm a rose That got all of my pretty petals popped off and left with nothing but thorns for the next man that comes to hold me Will I ever bloom again? Can anybody even console me? I'm like a blood diamond that most would kill to have but when they get me they take me for granted It's sickening and it never makes sense to me and I don't ever think I'll understand it I'm a Queen without a King Like a wife without a Ring Like the flowers trying to grow without the rain in the spring.... I have fears... And I have tears that never get wiped away because I wanna be a lady and wear my panties but... I gotta wear boxers TOO... Everyday How can I be a lady if I'm doing all the things that a man was designed to do? With nobody to call on.... Nobody to run to.... I wanna be held without lashing out because of the pain from the past I NEED to be loved, protected, and cherished....and put on a pedestal... And I NEED it fast There's no way in hell that God would take Adam's rib if he didn't mean for Eve to be there with him throughout life.... I pray that I'm able to heal enough to eventually be someone's wife I'm a rose That got all of my pretty petals popped off and left with nothing but thorns for the next man that comes to hold me Will I ever bloom again? Are you strong, patient, and willing to take the time enough to console me?
