Roses

Roses
are a sign of love
Roses
they are special to us
with their bright soft petals
they seduce us with their beauty
their elegance
their sweet fragrance
Roses
with their deep evergreen leaves
they entice us with their intricate-ness
their fragile look
their strong little leaves
Roses
with their murderous hidden thorns
that cut you open
and laugh as you bleed out
I have many roses
from years ago to only last month
i like to place them in a vase
on the shelf
so healthy and happy
and as days go by
they slowly wither, fall apart,
and die
Dead Roses
i remember how pretty you used to be
you silently weep over the side of the vase
wishing you could have been better
I see why roses are a sign of love
with so many complex feelings hidden
in the flower
Dead Roses
death has touched you
like it will me too
But Roses
you had your friends
I dont want to be
alone as i weep
my poor dead roses
