Dead Roses
Living or dead,
They shall always carry beauty
Velvet petals that curl and twist
What was once full of zest
Is now lifeless...
Time decays all things
Our reason to live
Becomes expired
You leave me with,
Your sacred fragrance
It fills my mind,
With forgotten memories
Of goodnight kisses
And heartbreak wishes
You are delicate in my hands
There is no remaining energy
We all endure what we become
Perished you lay in a corner of my room
To be seen by all who adore you
Covered in dust,
Filling jars with your lust
Your petals remain
