Love Poem: Withered Rose

Withered Rose

Visions of yesterday 
Still screaming in my heart
A tale of broken promises
That tore my world apart

All the borrowed memories
Of a love we used to share
Cast aside like hollow dreams
Without even a single care

Shattered dreams of tomorrow
That's stolen like a thief in the night
A world of bitter darkness
That used to shine so bright

Empty words of devotion
That echo thru my soul
A roller coaster of emotions
I no longer have control

The feeling of utter sadness
Has captured me inside
My heart is like a withered rose
Since you cast our love aside
