I have never been so envious of something as much as the rose

Can I be yearned for as much as she?

I wish to be celebrated in personal festivities, a crave and desire even the emperors could not shake

Commitment and love spills from her beauty

 Some could not let her go, even if it meant living in poverty

But as any beauty withers away,

In winter’s cold embrace, dying as a rose only knows how

Her scent lingers through the gardens

A remembrance of her essence and power

Never to be forgotten

I will become the same in the time of transition
