Roses;



You know roses are always nice,



they represent Valentine's Day,



love,



affection,



the things that make you happy.



They are awfully pretty,



especially from a hand of your crush.



The red petals that touch your nose when you want to smell them



Such a strong distinct aroma



Receiving them out of the blue



is always nice.



You put them in your best glass vase at home



with water and hope you wish they would last.



Each day one petal gently falls from each rose



They are shedding the petals one by one.



The boy who seemed to bring you flowers



seemed so nice and warm to be around with.



Dates at state park biking around and laughing,



the trees singing with the wind.



It was nice for the time being.



Now just like the roses, the boy seems to lose a part of himself too.



You see the real him; not answering the phone, not wanting to hangout



yelling, screaming, fighting, disagreements.



Your relationship is disappearing like the roses petals.



The roses in your living room remind you of him.



The relationship represents the flower petals



losing their meaning and matter every day.



One day all the petals fall to the ground



and today you know you have to let go of this boyfriend



for once and for all.



Relationships and roses never last forever.


The author's comments:
There are many people in life that come and go. They either choose to leave, or they are forced to go. I dedidate this poem to all the girls who looked at guys and thought their relationship would last forever, even though deep down, they knew it wouldn't. A very sad poem, but realistic to life.
