Fallen

There is a single red rose
Amongst the fallen leaves.
What is it doing there?
What exactly does is mean?
Is it just a mere rose
That has fallen by the way?
Or is it someone’s World,
That gave in to the sway.
No,
It’s just a rose after all.
All crumpled and worn,
Its petals all torn,
Away by the storm.
And was forgotten,
In the, 
Fall.
