Pretty Little Rose Poem by Rutvi Padhy

Soft like its petals,
Pure as it’s red,
She’s a pretty, little rose,
Or so have they said…

But the pretty rose denies,
It denies,
She denies her fake worth,
‘Cause roses, they have thorns,
And like pretty roses, she has flaws…

She wouldn’t let you reach her,
She wouldn’t let you in,
She wouldn’t show what’s true,
She’d try and hide herself within…

‘Cause pretty roses could hurt you,
And she doesn’t wish to mislead,
When you touch the pretty rose,
She doesn’t want you to bleed…
