Today we frolicked through a flowering field Daisies and Dandelions Laughter and joy preceded Happy and Bright No clouds, no dust, no strife or worries Calm and Relaxing And so we made daisy chains with green petals White and Yellow And we held hands in the clear sun Exuberating and exhilarating And then you looked me in the eyes and said "You have to die" Serious and Grave And I nodded my head and gathered dandelions Heady and Dense And I wove them into a noose Tight and Strong And you hung me upon a blossoming branch Flowery and Scented I smiled a farewell smile and waved a purple hand Coloured and Dying And you blew me a kiss and laid a hand across my eyes Dark and Quiet So I could not see you walk away and leave me to fade Sad and Depressing So that I could not see Death itself take me So that I could not see myself take my own life
