You were a rose,
I was the gardener
your sweet scent
tinged the air
and awakened the still,
your soft blood petals
whispered sweet promises
in my ear and made me blind
from the disease in your veins
And I was late,
When I got back
The fingers of the wind
took you away and wilted
you into nothing, and left me
in darkness, because
whenever you blossomed
you lit my world
