The wind flower hour

That time of day will always come
When my warmth grows cold, light turns silent.
Every time, it doesn't miss a single one
And that's when I know that the wind flowers have gone violent.

They're vicious, these nocturnal beings
Gone with the wind, as if they don't make a sound.
I could've sworn, they didn't bother being daring
But the next thing I knew, the pain was coming around.

The wind flowers creep at night— unsuspecting, beautiful, harmless
Until they seep through my emotions, shamelessly scarring.
Making all but one, a witness to what makes them so merciless
They're nothings that leave me shattered without even trying.

But it's the poisonous nights that make me all the more miss him,
See him, love him, and long for his voice in the petals.
And it's ending up with nothing that makes my sanity turn dim;
Forgetting me left instant bruises, as it was his only choice.

Wind flowers pass me by, making me wish to be with him once more
Hoping that, by some miracle, he chooses to stay.
But until then, I shall surrender to their tranquil torture
Because they promised me that things will get better, day by day.
