Dying roses
Lose their vibrance
Petals fade
Red to brown
Smooth to shriveled
The girl picks off the
Roses dying petals
Hoping to remove any
Sense of its death
Greying hairs
Once full of color,
Now lose their vibrance
Brown to grey
Silky to coarse
The woman plucks off her
Dying hairs
Desperate to remove any
Sense of her death
