The End
I dried the petals off your grave
Crumbling pieces of things I could never say
Out I release them
Kneeling by the silent water
The river flows and flows
The petals drowning
In frantic emotions of infinity
I thought it’d end
How wrong I was
It just led to another sea
So dead
One day I too shall go
Into a whirling dark unknown
To a place where my petals once flowed
Into a drowned dark-under
Forever more
The wilted pieces of my shallow existence
Sinking into depths of gore
But the river still flows
The sea still waits
And I shall too
Till forever I know
