A Rose Lies Dying
A rose lies dying,
petals fall one by one;
scatter, wind blown and random.
upon fresh turned earth.
Bitter silence,
cold,
indifferent,
wraps around my shoulders.
A quiet companion
I hold close.
Friends with strange faces,
smile sadly with inadequate words.
Doled out clichés fall
upon ears that hear only
your forgotten voice.
Memories of years revisited
dusted off and polished;
lost days irreplaceable.
Life with out you carries on.
