Title: Sussex Rose

Poem: Dead winter roses on the floor
Two hours sleep
Wrestled the truth from me again
The dirty little secret
Now I''m smiling to forget
Was it telling the truth or sabotage?
Sabotage sounds best
We talked too fast
We repeated ourselves
We slept too little
We got along
Nothing ever seemed wrong
Sabotage was the only out
Eventually, insanity would appear
Probably mine
I’ll sleep this off
It was nice not to be alone
While it lasted
Maybe a Sussex rose
Will appear in spring
No one ever knows...
