villanelle


Little flower, do you see me too?
I fear reverting to how I once was.
Little flower, will you let me wilt with you?

As the night creeps, I yearn to have a redo,
As the season changes, it reveals my flaws.
Little flower, do you see me too?

The warmth comes to an end, as I always knew,
The cold comes in with its unrelenting claws.
Little flower, will you let me wilt with you?

Something heavy I want to sleep through,
I feel like such a lost cause.
Little flower, do you see me too?

Something I can’t subdue,
I get consumed by fierce jaws.
Little flower, will you let me wilt with you?

Something that never fails to ring true,
I start to decay as it gnaws.
Little flower, do you see me too?
Little flower, will you let me wilt with you?
