It took me six weeks,
but I finally did it.
The bouquet of flowers
(Given to me by coworkers)
As a sign of love in my
"Time of need"
died not long after he did.
It's interesting to me
That when someone dies
We give their loved one flowers
As a sign of love and hope
But ultimately another thing
That they have to watch die.
It took me six weeks to see
The lilt and drying of
Each petal and leaf,
Before I could say goodbye
But today I finally did it.
I accepted the roses
For all they are
And our time together
For all that it was.
