Abandoned Petals

72 5 5
                                    

Trampled upon, they were
Must've been maybe four or five
The colour of the sky when the sun descends
A sunset glow of rich and vivid hues

They were actually tinged pink
But something about them
Ethereal
Maybe the dark contrasting background
Concrete, cold and rough
Made them seem so magical?

Indeed, they were soft
Not that I'd touched them
For they were delicate things
Scattered upon the pavement

Careless, the one who had done this
The recipient would've surely missed
These
Things called 'petals'.
