LONELY ROSE (by a friend)

So much depends on a lonely speckeled rose, laying in pale hands of a distressed boy. Raindrops fall upon his tear stained cheeks. Reminding him of how times use to be… Telling himself he can’t go on. Remembering she was the only one, but now she is gone. All she had left him lays in his hands, pricking his skin and making him faintly bleed. Like his tormented tears reminding him he is still here, when she is not. Leaving him dying inside……
