Like a sunflower you fade
Like a sunflower you fade, faster, quicker every day.
Weeping like the wonderful willows ,
We just could not keep that melancholy feeling at bay.
That feeling was just too hard of a pill to swallow,
For those of us who miss you most.
A flower can be such a sweet reminder of what once was,
Although these flowers fade all we’re left with is a ghost.
The faint presence of a beauty that has been taken by deaths sharp claws
The flowers fade and your presence slips even further from my grasp.
The comforting music of your voice is unclear to me now;
I depict it as the voice of an angel shouting down from heaven’s bask.
I shout up at the sky above hoping you’ll allow
Me to pour my words out, before all my flowers fade.
And yet I still remain afraid for when all my flowers fade.
