The Preserved Rose
Your Love
has become
the arid rose, that I preserved
from that day, when I was Ill.
You brought them then, when your love was most pure
Do you remember that warm, delicious glow
Summer
We lay in the grass soaked with dew
staring at the stars, crickets singing
as crickets often do
We lay hand in hand together..
Do you remember when our love was new?
Then fall came upon us
Fire Red Leafs, and the harvest moon?
I cannot remember a time, where I fell more in love with you?
Then Snowflakes glistend and fell from the sky
We grew apart, and I didn't understand why
Fragile like my heart
The Rose broke apart
Cold,
unforgiving wind,
swept it from my grasp
never to be seen again
Hands shaking
as I watch the Geese fly far from here
Angry girl your bitterness
numbing hyperthermia, will kill your sweetest smile
I miss you today, and for always
but
roses
can
never grow
when winter is so unforgiving
and hopeless
