Yellow Roses
Don’t give me red roses,
They frighten me.
I don’t want declarations of undying love
And deep passion.
So please don’t give me red roses.
Their darkness scares me!
I’d much rather have yellow roses,
That talk of sunlight,
And friendship,
And all that’s light and bright.
So if you have to give me roses,
Bring me the sunshine,
And not the darkness.
