I get down on my hands and knees  
To tend my perfect rose    
I gently pull out all the weeds  
Sadly she never grows  

Crystal clear water I give from within  
Dampens her delicate leaves    
I fear it’s too late for me to begin
Despite my fool heart’s beliefs

Neglect in the past, I’ve given to her
The soil just can not sustain  
Nutrients absent, she has to transfer
Her roots to a bed without pain

Flourish and grow, she can’t do with me
I wish it were far from true
I have no choice but to set her free
Her life to begin anew

The hole she has left can never be filled
Her essence I’ll never forget
A trust in love she has to rebuild
Without me, I deeply regret

Another must tend her, nurture her soil
I hope he is honest and kind
And loves her as deeply, with no turmoil
A paradise for roots to entwine

Find your garden my princess, my rose
Somewhere your smile just beams
Where that place is, your heart only knows
Live out your happiest dreams

Amidst black roses

This braught a lump to my throat, it struck me so deeply. I could relate very well to this.

i loved this part

"The hole she has left can never be filled
Her essence I’ll never forget
A trust in love she has to rebuild
Without me, I deeply regret

Another must tend her, nurture her soil
I hope he is honest and kind
And loves her as deeply, with no turmoil
A paradise for roots to entwine

Find your garden my princess, my rose
Somewhere your smile just beams
Where that place is, your heart only knows
Live out your happiest dreams"

It put tears in my eyes. An inspired piece, and very beautifull. Keep up the work

A sign in  the wind
The fatal last breath
Soft prelude to death
Alone
Amidst black roses

Appreciate the resonance of this piece...it lingers after the read.  I believe you captured resilience and selflessness in the heartfelt thoughts here.
