Gone, Gone, Gone?

You see me

as my petals

drip

down

in front

of your face

or as I 

fall down

from the sky.

from my safe

branches.

You pick me up

and you 

put me

between pages,

so you could 

keep 

the memories

to yourself;

making me

drier

than ever.

You don't see

that the life

is still

being

seeped 

out of me,

while I

am pressed

between

two dry pages,

as I am

fading,

little by little;

making me

one of the faded,

one of the 

forgotten

and making me

gone,

gone,

gone?
