The very flowers

Reach for the things they crave

Why can’t I

Do the same as them?

Having a life of themselves

But no conscious

They still search

For that sun

They’d die without it

It’s only natural instinct

So it justifies

Why it was right to kill you

If I didn’t

I wouldn’t be able to get my sun

My son

The thing I crave more than anything

The thing I’d die without

I need him

More than you

That’s why you had to go

I’m not sorry

It’s only fair

I get to stay alive

And you don’t

For “Wherever there is light,

The flowers will find it.”

You had my light

And I found it

_(This took a dark turn! I was aiming for a more romantic tone but then um, yeah. This is actually my first time making poems, like when I downloaded this app, and thank you all for your feedback and encouragement! “Very good, very nice. Hello, chicken nugget.” Thanks for reading and have a great day.)_
