Chocolate Roses

It all started with that darn day.
The horrid morn was cold and gross,
Keeping all my good thoughts at bay,
Though never would I ever say.

So there I was with mind morose,
Watching the lovers hand in hand,
Their talking was simply verbose
And left me feeling comatose.

And minutes ran that day like sand
As only through a timing glass.
The tears in my eyes tried to band,
But I would never let them land.

For every moment spent in class
Were moments my mind was in dream
To times with my love that soon pass
Though never did those times a-mass.

School ended before I did scream,
While I still did engage in poses,
But home was not to halt my steam
As clouds obscured the full sun’s beam.

Fate then as my sorrow closes
On my glass table my gift lay,
A long box within were roses.
It ended with chocolate roses.
