supermarket love

[tubgirl.jpg]

she said that my love
is supermarket-roses
I sit for days, watching
as the petals fall off
into the vase
on a dusty windowsill
they expire,
so let me wilt, too

she said that my love
is supermarket-roses
I sit, and I wait
as the petals curl up -
still and silent,
in stagnant water
and I wonder,
why beautiful things
never lasts?

This is beautiful, but sad. Very moving.
