The Rose
Digging myself deeper into this hole.
I cant help but fear I'm not in control
Tearing into body and soul
One day it's sure to take it's toll.
I have only myself self to blame,
But you had a part in this play.
I am no ordinary dame.
If only you lived another day.
So I shall sit and weep
Staring at the your possessions,
I decided to keep.
Many would claim this obsession.
"Her roses are fading now...
….she keeps her pride somehow."
