Death Of Roses

Death Of Roses

A Poem by Deanna

I used to love roses, but now I love death instead.

That's where I'm headed, that's where I'll bed.

 

I'll bed in a box when I am all good and dead.

With maybe a few dried roses mixed with dirt tossed up on top.

 

I'm not frightened and I'm not scared.

It's just the way I know it will be.

After all aren't we supposed to face reality?

 

Roses are alive, then they are dead.

I'm alive, and then I'll be next.

 

It's not horrible, in fact it's quite nice.

To know I can have both my roses and also my own sweet death.
