Rose Bud

My rose grew as my tears
hydrate its bloom.

Our love is unique,
She a blooming bud,
I a stealer of breath.

I sat her in my handmade vase,
hydrating her roots each morning.

I shared my poetry,
She shows no judgement,
yet still she is but a rose,
her stillness cultivates my curiosity.
 
I wonder if she hears my voice,
if she feels my presence, my touch.

Can my rose be more than just a
rooted bud?

Her petals are wilting,
like burning parchment paper
over a candles flame,
each one rolls up,
slowly falls to the ground.

My rose died leaving behind
perfumed memories.
