Rose Whispers

 

 She sits on a dusty street corner

 and holds a bouquet of broken promises.

 Hands shaking with regret and anger. 

 Memories of pledges whispered in ears.

 

 How he broke already mending hearts

 without so much as simple remorse.

 Tantalizing ambition of his cause

 to make the dreamers lose their dreams.

 

 He loves them he loves them not,

 let the rose petals pirouette downward.

 Hold on to the flowers of forgotten passion,

 memories bitter with sharp thorns.

    I'd rather be the flower, at least when it wilts and dies, it is gone from pain forever, unlike he/she with a heart, when it wilts, it does not die, it lies prostrated and conscious as it perpetually perishes, yet does not perish.
    Like an amaranthine phoenix that can feel the scathe of its own caustic flames cauterizing its dreams shut.
    OK, think I need to stop reading for awhile
