A FloWeR

by AnNiE - Taurus

You were just a seed,
That's what everybody said
For me, you were a whole life ahead.

I watered you,
Put you in the sun,
Watched you grow a stem
Out of the ground.

The days have passed,
You grew so big,
Beautiful flower in the soil,
Standing all ~ alone.

Everyday I came outside,
Saw you looking at the ground,
What were you thinking? I couldn't tell,
All I know is that ~ your soul was not there.

You slowly started falling apart,
Your smile started drifting away,
The sun shining down at you ~ Made you slump down the ground,
Your beautiful petals turned brown.

" You were so good to me" you said
" You gave me the best place in the soil"
" You gave me water, sun shine… You gave me LIFE"
"But that is NOT what you need to survive"

With pain in my heart,
I watched you lay motionless in the mud,
Barely living at all,
My beautiful flower, My only flower.

Why was I so selfish?
Why didn't I think?
Now it's too late,
All I have left is a little corrupted flower…

I know what you were looking for these lonely days of yours,
I wish I knew earlier,
That all you wanted was a friend,
Nothing more.

Reason for writing:

    actually i do not like this one as much cuz it was just an assignment
for class so like i had to write something about this subject
