27: Frozen Petals

We were supposed to soar
And when we reached the stars
We would rest for a while
Playing with the roses
So I built wings for you
But when you flew
You left me behind
Your heart was so cold
The roses froze at your touch
A cold petal drifted down to earth
I cupped it in my hands
As a tear fell
And I blew it out to sea
Away with the memories of you and me.
