If The Petals Have No Thorns

If The Petals Have No Thorns

A Poem by Whiskurz

They said we were as different
As the night is from the day
They said you were the purebred
And I was just the stray
They said we'd never make it
Though opposites attract
For all that you held dearly
Were all the things I lacked
They said you were a princess
But I could never be a prince
Who'd I think that I was fooling,
Who was I trying to convince?
They said you were the story
And I was just pretending
I was just the sad song
And you the happy ending
But then they didn't know
That we were Heaven chose
For if the petals have no thorns
There couldn't be a rose

I adore this, simple in the most beautiful of ways.

"For if the petals have no thorns
There couldn't be a rose"

Love the last two lines.

This was paradoxical prose in motion. A touching and lovely ode to one's true better half. I really enjoyed this!
