Dead Roses

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.
