Love: All in One

I, sonnenblume

I walked by the side of a stone paved road
Going through the motions of life
A typical day on my usual stroll
I saw to my right a lone flower

On the empty field a flower shone
Brighter than the sun above me
Its beauty radiating everything around
My heart felt warmer, taken by its beauty

Days of cold now have a familiar warmth
It made my heart throb, left me in awe
Yet it was strangely comforting
I had a feeling to look forward to

It became a guiding light to life
Illuminating every dark path
It nurtured me to be my best
Built the person I am now

At the cost of its own radiance

Without notice the flower withered
It gave up all its radiance
For the person who found it
Yet I let it fade on its own

I now stand, looking at the faded flower
Gone, its radiance and warmth
The fool tried to nurture it back
It was futile, it was long gone

Now frozen in place, all alone
Reminiscing of days gone by
All I can do is try and feel
Feel its warmth that lifted me

Its no use, I feel no warmth
I feel cold, I try to scream
Scream for the flower, yet nothing
I open my dry lips, "I, Sonnenblume"
