FLOWER

Dare you will never finger

The vulnerable power

I know you always meant

To take my life and scent

For your desired ascent

You bring me with torment

You never thought of things

That have no legs or wings

Never lay you hand

On my beauty stand

It is never yours

Yet taken as yours

Forsaken by force

You forsook me

Killed my beauty

Took my pretty

Face to pity

Touched me sad

Scared me bad

Are you glad?

Farther

Further

Go

Away

Today

You don't know

Nature, so

Let me go

There is something

That you're missing

That I'm keeping

For my being

Buried in my vein

Is a deeper pain

That I try to feign

With a breeze of rain

And a rainbow stain

You'll never comprehend

The things you need to mend

The lives you must defend

Until the very end

Pretend that you are brave

Enough to be a slave

Pretend that you can finger

Me even while you suffer
