The garden green is turning gray

Blooms lost their way

Old petals fall

While roses loll

Now vines hang low, their faces fade

Rotting nightshade

Roots deep sleeping

Willows weeping

Brilliant light quietly leaving

Lilies grieving

Sun stopped greeting

Life is fleeting

About the Creator

I’m just a human trying to make it in this world. I write about heartbreak, loneliness, longing, anger, family—all the things I can’t seem to leave alone. Everything I write is about me, even when it’s about someone else.
