White Roses by Blanca Alicia Garza

White Roses 

A white rose and

hear "I Love You"

from your lips 

was all I wanted 

The "I Love You"

got stuck in your pride

The White rose

waits in a notebook 

of unfinished poems 

A love left hidden 

in the shadows 

A love left to starve

to death 

Perhaps love has given me 

more thorns than roses;

but it was my choice to 

turn them into the most 

beautiful pristine bed

of white roses.
