Dead Roses

Dead Roses

I wish to send dead roses to my ex.....

For she used to make me feel happiness, now all she makes me feel is regret

I hope the decaying flowers remind her of how our love quickly soured

How her ice maidens touch poisoned our love.... Just like those decaying flowers

We parted ways to much happier days and I'm so happy she is gone...

So I ask the florist specifically, "send dead roses and leave the thorns on"Β

Thanks Michael, I originally wrote this as a stanza for another poem but thought it could also be ok on its own as a short poem. Glad you enjoyed - SydΒ
