What once felt perfect, was just perfect in its time. That time has passed and life went on— Like the Poppy that you love‐ The flower bloomed beautiful- Showcasing its ***** seeds- What once was in full bloom, opened up flat. Before withering away, leaving behind decay— Like a short lived perennial- Whose flower has faded- The seeds have been harvested- Where once lived romantic love, gave way to indifference. Departing devastation in its wake— Like the flower of the dead- Whose opioid has destroyed- Barely leaving room for life- Where once there was a life, there is now a new life. Leaves a symbol of remembrance— Like the soldier that has died- The red poppy remembers- Its seeds resurrect new love-

Poppy's Song
What once felt perfect, was just perfect in its time. That time has passed and life went on— Like the Poppy that you love‐ The flower bloomed beautiful- Showcasing its ***** seeds- What once was in full bloom, opened up flat. Before withering away, leaving behind decay— Like a short lived perennial- Whose flower has faded- The seeds have been harvested- Where once lived romantic love, gave way to indifference. Departing devastation in its wake— Like the flower of the dead- Whose opioid has destroyed- Barely leaving room for life- Where once there was a life, there is now a new life. Leaves a symbol of remembrance— Like the soldier that has died- The red poppy remembers- Its seeds resurrect new love-
This is about my ex-daughter-in-law
