You Can't Smell A Dead Rose











You cannot smell a dead rose.

nor can you pet a dead cat.

You have to water the roses

and remember to feed the cat.



You can't expect a lovely bloom

or smell the fragrance sweet.

A dead cat will never purr

if you forget it has to eat.



You forgot to give me your love

as I waited patiently.

Love won't be here when you return

when you finally remember me.



When you share your love with me

I'll return more than you can give

But in this void where I await

you can't expect my love to live.



I cannot wait for weeks on end

for love you do not show.

So once again I ask myself,

Should I stay or should I go?
