And the Petals Fall

A little bit of hope

The heart feels heavy, 

And nothing hits home.

I want to speak up,

But I don't know what to say.

Is my life worth the death

I am waiting for,

It's getting harder

To carry me everyday.

There is a hidden corset

Wrung around my soul,

As I cry all out,

It gets harder to breathe.

I've never asked anyone

For anything ever,

So now I don't know

What I really need.

But I have a little bit of hope,

And with that little bit, 

I wish for it to never quiver away,

And I have a tiny little smile,

That's looking me in the mirror,

Asking me to stay.

As if someone ripped my wings

And turned them into ash,

My entire body

Was crying from the pain.

I was caught up

With the soil of groundwater,

I waited to be 

Revived by the rain.

But I have a little of bit of hope,

And with that little bit,

I wish for it to never quiver away.

Now I have a little bit of life,

A little piece of life,

That I'll live until my death.
