Dead Roses (please comment)

by Erica Hughes - Libra

I can see my face,
in the gutter's mirror,
reflecting my skin,
now dry, and withered.

My withered body, 
lie dead in the streets,
my once praised beauty,
lie suffering defeat,
uprooted and discarded,
I lay brokenhearted,
with my once fragrant skin,
and limbs in the wind.
