He knew what had been lost
The sands of time taking from him
what he had loved the most.
The roses were in bloom
named after their dying mistress
His heart was in pieces,
shredded remains that dyed
the world red with each breath.
The colors of spring
arrived long after she was layed
Deep in earth
With a skin cold to touch
and a mind that was dead.
Aggrieved her husband stayed
distraught, despaired
his wife and old rose
had gone and left
peacefully departed.
