a flower so beautiful even in your dying
i stopped to look and couldn't help my crying
and it seems my tears were healing
but i'm sorry my dear i am no thunderstorm
i am just a passing cloud

and i tried to carry you to safety
but your stem was full of thorns
i came to realize that you weren't dying
but simply mourning
it seems your misery is what sustains you
you live for the sun that kills you [comments] => 2 [counter] => 176 [topic] => 2 [informant] => fallensilence [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )
