Infatuation of a rose

It's about lust and desire and trying to hide those feelings when something seems unobtainable. The rose represents the person.

The dead rose wilts 

Undignified as it reveals all

Hidden colours and messages

Expose as the petals fall

Envious and bitter

Becoming cold

Rotting away gradually

The true nature unfolds

A mark is left

Imprinting a lustful desire

Distinctive and sumptuous

Not forgotten

Leaving a lingering poison

Deadly

Secrets and lies die with the rose

Unseen to most 

These will never be found or even disclosed

[Kristopher d. Taylor]

this piece reminds me a lot of classic poetry, very romance-y, and very beautiful, and very well written.
