Rose

At night I used to think about you

But now I just sleep thoughtless in my room

In only the light of the moon

And you call me, but I don't pick up

You act like I might miss your touch

But you've got rose scents on your shirt

And I didn't buy you flowers

And there's shampoo in your shower

That I didn't leave there

And that's when I realized I didn't care

I guess I was just used to your habit

Don't even remember what happened

It's okay that I'm not your rose

I want to go, 'cause I want to grow

Into something I can love

Though the growing will be a little rough

I felt that you actually took away from the piece with these lines (ironically intended to reinforce the piece);
"And there's shampoo in your shower
That I didn't leave there"
But apart from that this is a good tale of betrayal and moving on.

Nice symbolism of rose. I can understand your emotions.
