What's Wrong

Flower

she was alive

but i was dead

i watched my petals

shrivel up in water

i called her name

but she couldn't hear

my hollow cries

of despair and disrepair

i fell apart at the seams

leaf by leaf

cell by cell

i was just a dying lily

in an ocean of roses

she was my rose

my only one

my love, sweet and true

but she brushed it away

and i watched it disappear

my body withering under loss
