Roses you've welted
And violets your dead,
I tried to keep you sheltered
And allow your beauty to spread,

But I failed as the cold came,
I couldn't prevent the frosts ever kiss,
Now you'll forever be frozen and never the same,
Because I had not this numbness dismissed,

Roses I am sorry,
You’re gone with my pain,
Violets forgive me,
That this numbness made you to me inane,

Roses I wish I could love still,
And violets I had once cared,
But you cannot refill my heart,
With all the love I once shared,

Love tossed back to me like weeds,
Care inane for others selfish needs,
Roses you can’t blame me,
And violets do not dare try shame me,

Flowers you’ll me resent,
For the cold I could not prevent,
As the dark dawn of my frost nears,
And my numbness Inheres.
