500. 500 roses. 500 lives to die today. 500 loves to wilt away. Love can stay, quite possibly remain forever, but we let it die right in front of our eyes. 500 roses across the face of the earth. 500 bright, fiery reds crumble to deafening black. No coming back.
For a picture prompt, of a field of Rose's and the number 500, for whatever it inspired and this is what inspired me. I just wrote whatever came to mind so it isn't my best, but I still like it a lot.
