Dying Rose
Prompt for poem: Red Rose Day
Petals in the wind
leaving the rose
it once belonged to.
Pieces of my heart
fall in step
each day you are not near.
Wanting to preserve
the love I once felt.
Never saw the end coming.
Thought you would be
here forever
by my side.
Life had other plans,
leaving no choice
than to let you go.
Short amount of time
was all you gave
for one to process
what was happening.
Confusion,
disbelief,
feelings more than I could handle.
Left alone as you walked away,
speechless by your behavior.
Doubts fill my mind
of you coming to your senses.
Gone forever are the feelings
that once were strong.
Leaving only the sound
of rose petals hitting
the missing pieces of my heart.
Author's Note: Red roses stand for love, but I wanted to take a different approach with this poem and go along the lines of having your heart broken by the person you once loved.
