i am like a wilting flower.
i watch as bits & pieces of me fall & break before my eyes as these painful days go by.
i used to be able to lift my head & see sunshine,
but ever since you left & closed the door behind you,
the sunlight never touched me again.
you left and secluded me here
in a dark room that had no way out.
the shadows that were cast over me would crawl from the cracks & corners of the wall & creep up on my gentle skin little by little until i turned fragile enough to break.
the day you decided to leave,
my world became etched in darkness.
my petals that had once been vibrant in color,
washed away & faded into grey.
