Once Was Red
I once was red and full
of love,I shared my beauty and
stood up tall and greeted
you with a sweet smelling scent,
the days grew longer and
less attention and love I received
My leaves begin to turn weak
my strength has slowly diminished,
brown and lifeless it has
slowly begun to crumble and
fall into the stagnant water that
you have left me in to die a
slow painful death
More of my leaves begin to
shrivel and fall from my stem so
soft,my head droops to
touch the vase that you loved
to display me in,alone in
on a dark secluded shelf is where
you left me
No sun light to kiss my petals,
no light to make me stand tall and
show you how much I care,
a sad and blue rose is what is left
now,have you ever saw tears
from a rose,just so sad
No longer will my petals
reach for the sky,no longer will
my leaves reach out to
you and grace you with the beauty
I once had,it has finally come
down to this,the neglect you have
shown me has taken its toll
