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.
