Roses
roses
I put the roses in a glass bottle
(a pink, a dark red, and a red)
and i think you were (are) the red one
but the flowers dried out and they
wilted and
like ashes (i must chase that horrible thought away)
i put them in a box (no, stop it, here i draw the line)
right underneath your picture.
the box
it contains the petals (ashes)
tears
They don't ever really refresh
and i was surprised at
how much they could sting
