I Still Have Your Rose 🌹 (poetry)

@Ashma 7 July 2020 more from that month

I still have your rose, The one you gave me last summer. I clench it in my wrist, And press it against my chest. The petals have fallen off, And the stem is frail and gray, But I’ve still not thrown it away. I still keep it, Carefully in my drawer, Each day watching it as I move on. I can’t go back to you, You’ve hurt me too much, But I can always go back to the rose, And hold it tight, And smell the dead love from it, And smile, As that’s what takes me to you.

    Keep practising. Soon you'll get it. Doesn't it hurt if you clench the rose. I would say it like this, I still have the rose, Which you gave last summer, I pick it up, And bring it close to my heart, Something like that. I am not a poet either but I do love poetry.
