The Weeds And The Rose Poem by Zylar Brady

I watered the Weeds and blamed the Rose
While every thorn was one I chose...
The garden knew what I ignored,
That love can't bloom where doubt is stored.

You carried blame that wasn't yours
While I kept opening up closed doors.
I wish I'd seen what now I see
Before regret remembered me.

I never thought that love could steal
The truest parts of what was real.
It hurts to know I let it stand
When all you offered was your hand.

You gave me reasons to believe,
While I only gave you reasons to grieve.
I wish I'd seen what now I know
So that our friendship never had to slow.

Regret can knock on every door,
But it can't change what's come before.
It only asks us that we become
Someone better than the things we've done

I'm sorry I made you feel alone,
When you were standing on your own.
You never changed, you never lied,
I just let someone blur my eyes.

If I could rewind the hands of time
I would go back and fix what I left behind
I'd water the Rose, not the Weeds
Giving you the love that a friend like you needs
