A Rose Garden

I wrote this poem last night. It's a free verse (not rhyming). This poem is basically about someone that you loved and was once in your life, but is not anymore. I guess I got the inspiration from the book that I was reading last night. A friend told me that it reminded him of the book The Lorax. What do you think?

A rose garden
Once beautiful 
And once filled the land
With its aroma

Its beautiful colors
Brightened the surroundings
Red and yellow here
Pink and white over there

Then everything changed
Rain poured down
Gray skies replaced
The blinding sun

Leaves were scattered
Petals were carried away
To a faraway place
By the storm
That swept the land

Brown grass 
And dead rose bushes
Took place of the 
Once beautiful scenery

It's aroma 
Fills the land no more
Dust and dirt where
The rose garden
Once stood
