Roses
They came closed, expectant with colorful promise
Twelve apologies, fresh and fragrant on a spring morning
They open slowly, thirsty for the sun's attentive rays

Twelve warnings, wrinkled and faded beneath a graying sky
They fall apart, stained with blackened stains and foul splotches
Twelve reminders, bitter and broken splayed on the floor
