About the Work

"End." captures the essence of a love that once flourished, now withering into memory. Through the metaphor of roses, the poem conveys the transition from vibrant life to inevitable end. The imagery of fallen petals and false promises evokes a vivid sense of nostalgia and introspection, encapsulating the melancholic beauty of a love that was not meant to last.

End.

Original Submission by Fatima Syeda

End.

You gave the bundle, the bouquet of life

All the roses perished

Except for one

You claimed it like our love

Our petals have fallen

Yours pollinate a different flower

The rose was fake

Like how we began
