#loveshadeabsence
A flower curses the sun
even as she drinks in the morning.
The sun is a friend who loves attention, craving the reflection of his own glow!!
But the morning pour is heavy!,
She bows her head until it touches the dirt.
The water meets the heat and rises as steam,
Choking the very life—
that was meant to be suppressed.
The sun felt something new,
a safety he hadn't known before,
But beneath she was weeping,
her petals holding a weight the sun can't see.
She is tired!!, not of the day,
But of the efforts to be seen
When she was in need of a shadow.
He gathered his rays and stepped behind the clouds;
The kind of shade he was never used to giving.
He looked back once and smiled:),
He left her to the shade she needs....
