Withered

Petals fall from a withering rose
akin to the unbidden tears of a child
silently screaming out
pain wrought from the unknown

misery alone inside
hurt by love
silently a petal falls
used, unwanted, never loved

a soul like the flower
shriveled and dying
another petal falls
wanting, wishing, for the eternal

within the shadow of the future
another petal falls
falling like a lonely tear
without a sound.
