Withering Petals

These falling petals 
Continue to write my story
Each one, has its own fragrance 
Some smell pretty, while other rot away

I'm slowly exposing myself 
As these petals fall
Landing where they must
I'm trusting the process of withering 

Soon I'll be naked and shivering 
All these flowers lay on the floor
One day soon, I will have no more
I hope that you just still, like my naked self...
