Fainted Memories

I remember the roses
You gave me that day
You smiled
I did too

You lifted me up
Each petal part of my heart
Joined with odors of love
Bathe in tears of dew

You kissed each rose
Handing each in my hand
A bouquet in red lips
Hidden in morning mist

The day you left
Only the petals
Were the memory
I kept
Burned In a vase
of dry tears
Memories faint…
