My Blooming Flower

The fear of letting go

To the ray of light

That brought warmth to my soul

Never did I know the color

Would be washed away

By them beads of sorrow

With one flip of a coin

My blooming flower faded out of existence

Turning every rose into soot

That stained the clear slate

Which changed my fate

Could only hope when the petals

Of my youth shed

The scar that once cut deep

Would be buried under the layers glee

Now I know I must fly across the

Liquid bubbling to swallow me

All by myself

Without seeking comfort from my nest
