Valentine's Day Poem, of Sorts

Valentine’s Day Poem

Never knew what to do
With the roses he brought me,
After the red had rotted
And soothing scent had slipped.
  So I leave them,
  Weeping, Wilting,
  In a coffin vase
  By my window,

As I dream
About dandelion weeds
Swimming in a field of green,

Free.
