I watched the petals form into a flower, The most beautiful I had ever seen,
Showing its colour with every glimpse of the sun ,
Hiding it's true colours for those who looked the closest,
Through the days slowly wilting ,
Lines forming and changing in shade,
I watched as it darkened,
Observed as the petal slowly flew to the ground ,
Gracefully finishing it's days,
Laying there alone as once the bud did start,
Limp and lifeless,
Where had the time gone.
A quick poem I wrote , here comparing the rose to a person & its journey to life.
I'd like to say
We gave it a try
I can't help you fix yourself, but
At least I can say I've tried
It's time to say goodbye

It's hard to say what brings happiness
To see you is to sympathize

Should I give up
Or should I keep on chasing pavements

I'm sorry, but
I have to move on
With my own life

Why is it paranoia
feels so much worse
when absolutely no one
is paying attention
to you at all?

I write poems
that are dedicated
to people
who will never read it.
..or appreciate it.
What is love, someone asked me once,
Love is not when she is perfection.
Love is when she's ordinary, flawed,
And you accept her, flaws and all,
Because they make the perfection
That is her.
