Fallen

Part 4

How crisp the air is with gentle snowflakes,

How cold the floor feels against my bare feet,

As I watch it fall my heart yearns and aches,

For I think of you and my heart skips beats,

I reflect on simpler times, just us two 

Laughing away the days without any care,

So watching the snow fall, I just miss you

And all of the smiles that we used to share,

But the snowfall never lasts forever

And the sun will return to us and shine, 

For love is a temple set to weather

All storms and still appear simply divine;

With love, the sun will never cease to rise

And the stars will forever light the skies.

Dead flowers sit upon my cabinet,

Roses, lisianthus, tulips galore,

All once purple shades that made my heart soar

Now turn brown and withered, reaching their limit,

Though I found them to be most adequate, 

I'm just reminded of pain from before,

When we were happier and we were more,

So now I confess my little secret;

Dead flowers sit, because everyday

You and I go head-to-head in battle, 

Constantly fighting on the right and wrong,

But I didn't want it to be this way,

War over who is king of the castle

And the dead flowers that sat for so long.

Everyone is a mosaic of different hues.

People are complex and never really what they seem to be.

The most colorful people have much more to lose.

Paint by number almost feels like a ruse,

for deciphering others or even yourself is never so easy. 

Everyone is a mosaic of different hues.

If you were to paint yourself, what colors would you use?

Would you put out every color of yourself for everyone to see?

For the most colorful people have much more to lose.

Life can be monochrome or a collection of blues 

or a rainbow of whatever you define as 'me';

Everyone is a mosaic of different hues.

One must wave their flag high for everyone to view

and protect your life's masterpiece fiercely,

for the most colorful people have much more to lose. 

Never hide your rainbow, no matter what colors you choose,

and always hold your beautiful self with dignity,
