The petal won’t drop tonight or tomorrow

It would be a surprise to me too

I shouldn’t have told you

I shouldn’t have told you

I shouldn’t have told you

I can’t repeat it enough

It won’t reach you

I shouldn’t have spoken

I shouldn’t have spoken

Why have I spoken?

Mindfulness is an impossible virtue

when the petal knows it will drop

Where am I going

Have I gone

Have I gone?

The world is falling around the petal

Before the petal can drop

I shouldn’t have told you

Why have I spoken?

Have I gone?
