Poetry: Remembering love

Faded Rose

The rose, neglected
Begins to fade;
Its beauty slowly dims.
One by one
The petals drop
Leaving a stem
Naked and bare
Adorned only with thorns.
Sadly the petals
Are gathered and saved
And placed on a dusty shelf.
In a pretty little
Forgotten bowl
Sometimes a wayward breeze
Steals it way inside
To stir an aromatic memory
In which the rose still lives
Red, eternal and painfully sweet.

    In the breaking light of dawn
    I look around me at what's gone
    Is this real or is it fake?
    I want to dream
    for my sake.
