Deceased flowers
Beautiful eventful moments until extinction
Slowly perishing before devastated eyes
I minded, I strived, loved enormously, heart delicate
Still
Nothing convinced beautiful pedals to flourish.
Cement emotions
Weighted down thinking I’ve been too sensitive
These pedals vanish leaving an empty glass vase
Specially appointed for this occasion
Still
Tremendous beauty and wonder now belowground
Nothing encouraged expansion.
Repulsed
Offended
Stiffened face
I refuse to cherish flowers ever again
I demand vows, I crave oaths, I yearn for assurances no one can give
Still.
