DYING PETALS

bethe

our love is like the petals on a rose,
they start out small and grow,
they start to open and spread slow.
they bloom beautifully and full.

then after the bloom is done
the beauty starts to fade and die.
the edges crinkle and turn dark,
the stem gets brittle and does not bend.

the rose is then dead and gone,
as is our love and happiness,
it has faded and lost it's beauty,
the foundation has crumbled to nothing.
