Withering Flowers

Flowers wither and loose their 
hue
As I wander in vain I realize I 
have nothing
The gray clouds above me 
release a heavy downpour on 
my soul 
Drowning me in my sadness
Could this be so
That I shall never be free from 
my agonizing pain 
It shall haunt me forever 
This everlasting sorrow
As I stare into the Mirror 
It reflects my true soul which is 
already dead 
And longs to be forgotten
Just like the dying flowers
