To bloom and die

I leave
    my own reflection quivering.
I leave
    and all remains unchanged.

    That faith reflecting all I am.

    Obsession sees that way. 
    Awaking dreams – Unsleeping lie.

    Beheaded buds are plucked too soon to bloom,
and die.

    How did I ever dare to dream except
like
them.

Please tell me what you think

  • so sad and disjointed, but quite lovely too. it's a piece of art, of course, but it resonates with regret as it inspires feelings of reflection and inner consciousness. i like how the first and third lines in the first stanza repeat. it's a very simple, clear write that allows the initial emotions to be reaped at first glance, but it still goads the reader into taking a second look. nicely done.
