She hangs her head in her hands
as he sits down beside her.
Speechless they are,
though their thoughts couldn't be louder.
Going over and over their unsound situation.
But not a word could be said as they sit in his bed
Where they got carried away and created this mess.
How one little kiss that led to the rest
could ruin their lives in a minute or less.
She puts her head in his hands and he strokes her brown hair,
we'll figure this out, no reason to doubt,
we're in this together, I'll be here forever.
Three months pass by and she's starting to grow
a rose in her stomach that soon she will hold.
Questions are asked but still they stay silent.
No decisions were made and still he did stay.
Held her hand when it hurt,
from the thorns on the stem.
Put his ear to her heart and sang her a song.
It mimicked her beat and helped her to sleep,
as he watched his young lover escape from reality.
She dreamed of their future and a three story house,
two cars in the driveway, no flowers to water.
Jobs that they love and candlelight dinner.
Just two happy people embracing each other.
Next morning they wake and come to a conclusion.
Sit their loved ones down,
as they stare in great confusion.
Not the reaction they had expected,
Not the outcome they had invisioned.
On their own in the cold, with no where to go.
They don't go to school, and they haven't a penny.
They need nothing and no one but the love that they share.
As they wait for that day when it all becomes clear.
A beautiful rose born from two beautiful roots.
