My tears fall

So unbidden and forlorn

Upon the deep red

Of fallen rose petals

I suppose this is the thorn

To the beauty of my love

But is heartache worth

A moment in your wake?

I'm suffering

Slowly

Just withering away

Every day these petals

Grow wetter

With these tears

That fall

Unbidden and forlorn
