Wilted Roses
Wilted roses

when there are no words to say how you feel
and things fall apart
inside.
scattered remains of dreams
once held dear
fading away
into nothingness.
opening your eyes
finding yourself alone
surrounded by those you love
unable to feel.
only hope remains
even that is lost now
hidden in the shadows
tears fall
like endless rains.
seeing the darkness approach
no energy to run
submission
to the inevitable
maybe one day it will be ok
when the storm passes.
yet another season
of broken hearts
and wilted roses.
