Like the Roses

When I awoke today
You were not there
the bed was cold
the air, colder still
I go to the machine
there is nothing new
I expected not to
hear anything from you
I look over at the table
you used to bring me flowers
somehow I've always known
like the roses in the vase
our love would soon die too
I take a shower,
go about my day
And I change the sheets
before I go to sleep
