Some summer flowers have yet to die,
Such a miracle to innocent eyes.
Though my scarred flesh cares to wonder,
What sort of life they had.
T'was it an empty one?
With no true purpose at,
Except catching a young girl's eye,
And coming home to live in her ***.
Someday these flowers will be nothing but hanging carcasses,
A looming reminder that time will pass.
When they do finally fade,
The first tear of winter may be shed.
The old eye is everything the young eye lacks,
Yet what the young eye has the old wishes it did too
