The Rose I Used To Be

By Jessica Vance

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Our love was beautifulLike a deep red rose...But roses wither and dieShrivel up dryJust like our loveSoft, healthy petalsBurnt awayBy pain's raysI think of you and herI cry until I too am dryThere's nothing more I can giveNo more tearsNo more painYou've left me dryWithered, shriveledI was like a roseNow you've dried me upLeft me to dieWhy can't I returnTo the rose I used to be?
