THE YELLOW AND RED ROSE

My feelings are mixed about this day,

I give you a rose,both yellow and red,

Red for the love that I never got,

Yellow,the shroud on my friendship,dead,

No other colour can represent the hue,

Of the connection that I know to be true,

My love and your friendship,

We just could not find,

Yellow or red were never seen;

Our vision,my dear,was colour blind,

All we saw were shades of grey,

I let my feelings hold their sway,

And you kept yours held at bay,

Trudging along this misty shore,

With me wanted less and you wanted more,

Doomed was this path seldom trudged before,

Lost in my writing,was my love,evermore,
