She was a pointsetta
Her red leaves
Larger than any bloom

They sung brighter
That no snow on petals would out do them

She stood out
She didn't belong
A wish to incase her in her eternal warmth
However
There she wilted happily in the winter weather

A coldness she craved
It was wrong of me if I tried to stop it

How could something so warm like her
Thrive themselves in such unwelcoming places
