Roses are dead

Violets aren’t blue

This world is a blur

But I still see you

Once vibrant petals

Crimson faded to gray

Whispers of the past

Thorns of memories sting

Piercing hearts once held light

Silent tales of longing

Lost in the depths of darkness

Roses are dead

Daisies lost their charm

In a sea of gray

You still bring me calm

In the gardens shade

Beauty lies in silent grief

Life cycle unchained

Roses are dead

Lilies fade away

Memories linger on

In the light of day
