The Fading Flower

They fancy that I linger and flourish when the time is right.
But do they realize I’m wilting inside?


I droop in wintry nights.
I wait for summer’s light.

They want me to be content with what I get.
Do they know I’m vacant within and naught is left?

In autumn I may die.
Through rain I’ll try to survive.

I'm drained, desiccated and faded,
The blowing winds rendered me jaded.

Droughts make me seek out darkness,
a single drop in sky.
In floods I drench.
I’m trying, I’m dying. Can you hear me cry?
