Our Poor Dying Lily
February 6, 2010
Our relationship
Is like a wilting lily.
I am the stem
eager and hoping
trying to hold us up.
And you are the petals
lazy and crushing
pushing and breaking me down.
Our relationship
is like a wilting lily.
I am the stem
you are the petals,
and I cry for our lily.
For our poor dying lily.
