Long Ago Her Roses Died Poem by Danny Speicher

Her eyes could soothe my deepest pain
Though they attempted to restrain
The tears she always tried to hide
For long ago her roses died

A Spring, a Summer and a Fall
We shared nothing, yet we shared all
But, Winter came; she left my side
For long ago her roses died

Dreamed, I, one day she’d come alive
That she would smile, laugh and thrive
But, to this day shadows abide
For long ago her roses died

I’d give my all for them to bloom
But, long ago her roses died
