Wilting A beautiful word with a tragic tale It paints such a fatal scene On the tip of your tongue Every time its whispers escapes your lips reach Like a blue orchid petal Falling to its elegant doom A piece of a sapphire whole Once glowing with delirious charm Now shriveled and grey Every detail of its fall Is traced by the sound of the word Every motion of its tips Every step of its tragic dance Is woven within its syllables Wilting

Wilting A beautiful word with a tragic tale It paints such a fatal scene On the tip of your tongue Every time its whispers escapes your lips reach Like a blue orchid petal Falling to its elegant doom A piece of a sapphire whole Once glowing with delirious charm Now shriveled and grey Every detail of its fall Is traced by the sound of the word Every motion of its tips Every step of its tragic dance Is woven within its syllables Wilting
