Remember

Sweet Rose,
Your perfume is bitter,
Tainted by time & memories,
Soured with mistakes the once sweet perfume haunts me,
Closed in a little dark box,
A coffin for a mistake,
A shrine to a memory,
A desire to never repeat my mistake,
I remember,
I enshrine the one mistake I wish I could fix,
That I might never repeat it.
