A rose but not red

I found a flower
and it was a rose
But it was not red
it was yellow

I had the power
and it was close
But is was not fed
it was mellow

In a few hours
it was dead
how sad
No tomorrow

a reminder of the fact
regardless beauty had
the end an ugly act
Tough to follow

Gift without expiration
present healer
avoid sorrow

For our story lets pretend
My heart and time
you can borrow

Roses being red or rose
will not cure a fever 
At hours end they will die
to show your love
give me neither
