wilting wildflower.

flowers patterned her hair

weaving through strands

of thin and thick hair

pretty petals

vivid bursting colours

a sweet fragrance

misting around her

and just like the flowers

she'd be alive and thriving

beautiful and free

loved and cared for

for just a few more hours

and by morning

she'd be fragile and weak

slowly dying

crumbling to pieces

falling apart

petal by petal

no longer beautiful and carefree

and no one wants a dead flower

so they let her go

and bury her with the other dead flowers.
