Roses and Carnations

And then the flowers started wilting
One red rose after the other ..
Their heads drooped,
Their petals fell,
The leaves turned brown,
The stems stagnated in the water..

Was it my dreams withering away,
Or was it yours?
But the carnations stayed on..
Their leaves still green
Their stems robust
Their petals still a smiling yellow..

is it the dreams yet to be dreamt,
is it mine or is it yours..
