Be gentle with the rose
as you hold her in your palm.
Don't hold her too tight
or you'll bleed.
Her thorns will pierce your skin.
Hold her too light
and she'll fall to her death.
Her petals wilting along the way.
Just a little thing that came to mind. It's sort of a metaphor. I'd like to see everyone guess what it's a metaphor of.
