She was like a wilted rose
Just waving in the wind
Petals falling off
Life draining out
She was loosing herself
Her color was fading
She was dying
She didn’t care
Because she just kept waving
Swaying back and forth
Letting the sun wash over her
Think back when things we simple
When life was much easier
And when the very last petal fell
She smiled
Letting herself melt into the ground
Hoping to become something new
