DEATH Poem: Pot of Roses, by Lexie Vincenty

I had almost forgotten what they
Looked like before this state
Leaves wilted completely
They had given up
I know I did
A week ago they were bright red
Alive and well
Just as I was

The week ended
As did their life
Then my hope slipped away
And dug itself back into the earth
