She goes out to the garden
travels
through the long
mazes of bushes
until she reaches
the flower pot
her flower pot
She looks down
expecting bright colors
but all she sees
is brown
rotting
leaves
She falls over
She cries
and there
She lies
as she's swept away
in a river of tears
"I have no fears"
She says
"No..."
She struggles
She tries to fight
but that night
under the light
of stars
near the bars
of the castle gate
it was
just
too
late
