here's two poems that I wrote and any constructive criticism would be nice ^^

Epitaph

The dirt that covers this faded tomb
These letters which time has worn.
A forgotten body that came from a womb
From the letter c I was torn.

His bones deteriorate without a trace
A mind that dissolves into the earth.
His life was lived at a quiet pace.
His death fell quick, long after birth.

Though his body and mind may be gone
His thoughts and dreams no more
His spirit is free to finally move on
He waits for you at heaven's door.

The Dozen Roses

A dozen roses I gave to you.
Twelve, not one or two
But a bouquet of flowers just from me.

The roses are red; as vibrant as ever,
though one is different from the rest
Its meaning I shall endeavor.

It is just like the other others in that it is red.
Surrounded by the rest, next to your bed.
In a vase with others all beautifully cut,
If I told you it was fake, you may call it a bluff.

It does not mean our love is fake.
Something so perfect cannot be a mistake.
It represents our eternal love
A love no one can imitate.

When I gave you those dozen roses I said that night,
I will love you until the last rose left has wilted and died.
I will love you forever no matter the conditions.
Just as this weather proof rose - colored with dye.

a hundred winters quickly went by.
I now lay in the ground next to your side.
A single fake flower sits in between us,
Next to our bed, in a vase by our side.
