You were mine,
A Wildflower.
Sprout up in the most unlikely of places,
Peaking yellow and green through the copper chipped bricks,
You spread out, wrapped around my hand,
we grew together.
Intertwined
Inseparable
Iridescent - reflecting each other.
Until - your grip loosened,
Once effervescent,
I watched your colour fade -
Now waned, wilted, worn.
I tried to love you back to life -
Though I don't know you anymore.
