Chrysanthemums

I glance over A rose in bloom Or a gold Egyptian tomb You look the same as you did last October I make sure to visit you every day The sky always looks gloomy The space between us is too roomy I can’t bring myself away I wish I was closer to you Barriers separate us in many ways You left me in a daze Can we ever start anew? I bring you flowers every time Sometimes I wonder if you remember me The petals fall onto you like debris In this light, I bet you look divine I wonder what you would’ve looked like in the present It was so long ago To you, I owe I wish I could get to you, the descent I fall to my knees on the dirt Tears fall down freely My feelings for you are ideally I know you wouldn’t like to see me hurt My hand rests on your tomb Fingers trace your name I glance at your photo frame The uncanny look of doom
