Roses Vs Sunflowers

Woke up with roses 
Their company puts me at ease 

The morning sun kisses them 
Adding color to my bleached walls 

Woke up with their soul 
That radiates from the bottom of the vase 

Like my heart, their petals are full 
And together they breathe with me 

August vacated
Leaving me with their corpses 

Their vibrance now holds bad memories 
Tears and a broken heart surrounded them 

October knocked on my door
The fall breeze I cling to each year came with 

Sunflowers showed up on my nightstand 
Replacing trauma and bad memories 

The feeling of relief fills my chest 
And a small smile joined in 

Waking up with sunflowers 
Their company is my comfort 

They have lasted through the storms 
Of the remaining tears and heartache 

Like my heart, their petals are full 
And together they breathe with me

"October knocked on my door" - I loved this line ever so much. And the last line and the whole poem, Metal Horror.
