Deep in the Earth,
Covered in floral arrangments,
As if their life
Will make me feel better about the lack of yours yours.
Petals full of promises
Of everlasting life and beauty
That mirrored the glint in your eyes
Until the very end.
But those were both lies,
Too good to be true.
No one thought you'd leave,
Everyone said they'd last.
But a simple chore
Made it all come flying back.
The wrinkling petals
Falling to the ground.
It was like losing you all over again.
