LOVE ME LIKE A ROSE
Five months ago
I gave you a rose
pale in pink, rich in pretty
you touched my face, thanked me kindly
stood the Rose proud beside your bed
to watch the dreams pour from your head
But pretty does fade...
color does drain...
and five months later
the Rose stands the same place
You loved it fully while
it was alive
You loved it like you did not know
it was soon to die
And when it did-- you did not
bat an eye
only loved what was left like it had
never died.

I like it but I dont see how this fits perfectly into a dark category honestly.

It is a poem foreshadowing of her suicide.

it's an exquisite dream, to be loved beyond the temporal days of beauty...
