Petals

Dead heads
Why can't I be like you?
Your skin slowly falls from your head,
As hair falls from the scalp.
Peach.
Your death is so painful
Yet, full of aromatic pleasure
Romantic pleasure
Pink.
Each layer dries ever so slowly
To a delightful crisp
Then so beautifully
Do you do dive from your womb
Into the nothingness below to shatter
Onto the cold hard cement
Yellow.
Save me save me
I'm sorry I can not save you.
I can not fill life and love back into you
Not now,
Not after death
Impossible...
So impossible
Wishful thinking, despair
Purple
I can only hold your remains in my bare hands
And allow for my tears to end your life
As they kiss your delicate petals and moisten them with
Tender memories.
White
Colors fade with time, as do memories.
Time still stands still for me.
The roses you sent me
They have long withered
Filling my room with the scent of a beautiful death.
Reminding me of yours
Black
