silent, sad, dying,
not caring at all,
just like me...
graceful hurt,
flowing silently,
sinking to the ground,
losing part of themselves...
as they fall apart...
not worried about how they land,
slowly they crumble to dust,
the same as my heart did over you...
darkness surrounds them,
beauty in shadow.
i watch them as i sit and cry,
tears from glass eyes,
gleaming in the disappearing light.

...as dying rose petals fall to the floor.

Beautifully penned piece. I can relate to this poem very well at this point in time. The emptiness and cold feeling inside you. You hurt, but you don't feel. Strange place to be.

That's melancholy, but sweet. I cannot elaborate...
It's that good...
You're a great writer.

Stunning write, I could picture the dying rose so clearly in my head. It reminds me of the rose in Disney's Beauty and The Beast.

Wow. That was beautiful, amazing, and hooked me the minute I started reading it. There are no words to serve it justice. It's just too beautiful.
