I am a rose
That withered away
That waited for you
Every single day

I wished we'd go back
That we'd stay the same
I waited for you
But you never came

The sun passed by me
With its sunny light
Blinding my eyes
I lost my sight

You moved with wind
You chose to go
You never came back
It's the end of the show

You left me waiting
You never came back
The years had passed
That I lost my track

But I can't forget you
I'm still attached
The wound you gave me
Was never patched

I'm still a rose
With thorns around me
And I'm still someone
You never came to see

I withered and died
Waiting for you
My bloody red color
Lost its beautiful hue

I was listening to the In Our Bones album by ATC and came across Roses, and I liked some of the lyrics. You can check it out and find it, so yeah. This poem was born.
