You don't know
what to think anymore,
do you?
With your tired eyes
and burdened mind,
all you see
are the gray clouds
covering the silver lining
of everything.
There's a storm brewing
in the back of your head,
wild and reckless.
Piles of dead leaves
are tossed in the wind,
a fiery explosion
of all that
wasn't meant to be.
But you,
my darling,
are the closed flower
in the cold night.
Your roots are
ever so strong,
and your petals
are so beautiful.
All you did
was protect yourself
from the dark,
and if you open back up
you will be
in the sun
once again.
