Between Coffee & Affection

one ღ forget me nots

forget me nots;
flowers that bloomed in complete darkness.
she had planted them;
the seeds were in her heart.
they bloomed slowly;
with every passing day, she felt as though
the seeds had given up on blooming.

her heart had grown cold;
her mind had grown dark;
her emotions had dried up.
there was nothing left.

but one morning, she woke to a flutter on her chest.
there sitting, was a butterfly,
right above her heart;
and she felt as though she had changed.

it was then that she realized,
the flowers had bloomed.
she had then remembered that forget me nots
bloomed in darkness.
maybe darkness wasn't bad after all.
for it had forced her heart to bloom,
her mind to become light,
and her emotions became the fuel to her heart.
she was no longer a seed in blooming,
she was a flower.

the darkness had shaped her beautifully.
