Pretty petals

Full of romance

Memories float

In sweet fragrance

Lovers dote

Just like pretty petals

Time is special

Time heals

Time hurts

One day they’re there

Then fear the worst

No time to spare

Just like wounds time heals

Time also steals

Pretty petals

Wilting away

Molded corners

Shriveled days

Full of mourners

Just like dying petals

Time was special

Time heals

Time hurts

It pains to see

What’s in the dirt

Wish it were me

Just like wounds time deals

From me, time steals

Withered petals

Reminding me

The missing space

Where they should be

Phantoms I chase

Just like pretty petals

Time, too, will settle
