like a flower

like a flower, new and young in a world of trees

whose seeds gave birth in shadow and agony

whose leafs are of a green so dark and sad

whilst its blossoms met never the bees


like a flower, new and young in a world of trees

with roots that never had the time to grow

blooming hard and blooming slow

whilst the skies it never sees


like a flower, new and young in a world of trees

born to slowly die instead

of growing and finding the light it frees

itself from the shadows by joining them in the world of the dead


remember this flower
