What happened to the lilies?

The roses, I tried to smell them.
The room has nothing so pungent
As the stench of socks and undone dishes.

The rose, it tried to perfume.
The air has nothing so light
As the scent of clean water and unbruised petals.

Delicate, like fine things.
Distasteful, like the unabashed.
