Day 9

Prompt: Write about the sight of: lit windows in a house when you're standing outside at night, someone you love when he or she doesn't know you're watching, a dying plant, shadows on snow

Roses suffocate under blankets of white

And drops of light float out to me.

It's warm in there, but it's cold in your heart.

Don't worry about me. I see

Everything I couldn't be when you left me.

She cooks you a wonderful life,

While I'm falling into the shadows.

Tell me, now, have you really forgotten me?

The secrets haunts me, all I know.

Now I'm just a crispy rose in melting snow.
