Shriveled and Shrill

These flowers you've given,
have all but withered and wept.

Each red petal,
leaps off the stem,
reaching the end of its metamorphosis.

How do you expect us to survive,
when every time we bloom,
you cut us from the gut down?


No, I won't accept such gloomy gifts.

Instead, I'll keep them safe,
so I may plant them at your grave.
