Petals
I'll stay right here, waiting for you
Here where the sky's still blue
And true love holds true
Here where the mangoes bruise
But still squeeze sweet juice
I'll stay right here, pine after love
Here where the dew sits cold
And morning brings doves
Here where breeze and butterflies
Flowergasm air and land
I'll stay right here, pretty and perfect
Here where beauty fades but never ends
I'll stay right here, radiant and dashing
Here for a time, among many like me
Many like me, beautiful in a brightly-colored, sad and broken way
Wilting away waiting for you
You that sees just me among many like me
I pray you come to me soon
Lest I be pluck't by a more timely, less desirable hand
I'll stay right here, my love
Hurry... I can't stop them from falling
