Once I lived in a bunch
Loved and caressed
Often accompanied
Hugs and kisses
Withering piece now I am
Lying on the bed of dirt
Defenseless and weak
Veins bleed to death
As I drag for a breath
My fragrance once allured
Thousands of lovers
Few tears on the grave
But now I lay scared
Scarred and dried
Love I’d seen
Hearts I saw shattering
Words I heard wasted
Lips spitting lies
I hid all their secrets in me
Now they hide from me
Stripped far from
Water and sunshine
Broke my heart uprooting
Family of many was broken
To impress someone
With whom I was to live
Only for few moments
Once happy
Now I lay bleeding
Alone I wither away into void
I’m a flower
It’s my story written in blood
Blood humans can't see

Sad.
I always liked to save my flowers and press them in a book to remember an event by. This is really good told from the flowers viewpoint.
