Day 16 - What good am I to you?

You were the Sun.

I have grown to admire you from afar,

my love for you grew a garden of uncertainty

with roses and thorns that hide in the light of day.

I hid myself from you but bathe myself with the warmth of spring.

My Sun, I have grown to love you from afar,

But now that you've come down from from those clouds

I do not know what to do.

I'm nothing but a garden full of thorns,

what good am I for such gem like you?

I have done nothing

but make you bleed out light from every touch,

each day you shine a little less.

My Sun, what good am I to you?

All I do is make you sad

everytime another flower withers.

I couldn't help it,

but trust me I will try to be something good for you.

You the Sun,

you are not meant to carry such burdens in your heart.

You are my Sun,

But what good will a wretched garden of roses

will ever be to you?
