Love.

A plant –

If you remove it

from the earth

where it first grew

- but the roots are untouched

or at least preserved -

you can plant it somewhere else.

Nevertheless,

if you take it out

and cut the root,

it will

 - like the roses of a bridal bouquet -

decorate a room for a while.

Eventually, though,

fade,

meet its doom

(lifeless as it is),

and die

out.
