The Flower
Lonely the flower lied by the beach
Counting the bees that ate her each
Alone, she cried though alive, she died
Hoping to see a soul she finds
Takes her home, loves her blind
Fades the hurt the bees remind
Her colors bright, a god's gift
Scent sinks with every sniff
Petals soft as a quill could be
Her poor fate, she's found by me
The one she thought was a mild rain
Wrong she was, invited pain
The flower though did never knew
The love she needs, he wouldn't give
He cared the flower to his hearts best
But god had wished her something else
He gave the story a little twist
Her beauty made him feel selfish
Greed overtook love in a swish
He wished to trap the color and scent
Stupid he was, he made a chest
He locked to keep her from the rest
She cried to make a lonely wish
A wish to swish past, on the beach
To never be mine, out of my reach
For bees cant eat her soul, she felt
She wept, kept quiet, her last hope melt
Next day, petals shed, the chest had bled
He opens, she's dead, the calyx remained..
