He gave me

a bouquet

of roses--

yes.

They were

red as blood,

soft as lips,

and smelled of heaven.

Yes.

I have taken,

care of them

Beautifully.

Once a day,

droplets cascade

from my hands

onto their petals.

Sometimes their thorns

prick me,

but I refuse to abandon

them.

Years have passed...

and they have

never withered...

But they never.

Blossomed.

Either.
