My Withered Flower

My flower My precious flower The flower that gave out many flowers Flowers including me. You were my flower Yes, the mother flower The flower that withered without been sick. I knew one day we might depart You first or me But I never thought of you Just departing so fast, so easily, so silently Without a good bye..! you were not old; Matronly beautiful You marked the beauty of our world you made the scent of our garden The light of our heaven. I always prayed for you to wait a little Just few minutes to see me grow I dreamed you to enjoy my flowers The new garden I'm creating from my seeds. I wanted you to mentor the little roses of mine How to be beautiful in and out How to be beautiful forever. Why you choose not to wait a little? Why you just go that way? What grub made you shrivel? What Pupa withered you so fast? Tell me... Who should I blame then... you or the creator of the chrysalis? I just don't know For sure, my heart will be sick forever.
