A.N posting from mobile very awkwardly but I had a burst of courage. I am very protective of my poetry but here. Yeah so um. Yeah.

The Lost Flower

I had all the time in the world

Yet not enough

To save the flower

She risked everything

And lost everything

I gave her happy days

But I made her have sad ones

Miracles and horrors

Go hand in hand

Danger and safety

I risked her

I had lost the one thing I wanted

The one thing that mattered

As I lay my head on the wall

Imagining I could hear her

The lost flower

I walked away

She had to let go

I walked away but stayed

My hearts broke

And some stayed behind

The flower I touched kept me

Yet I lost her

I walked away from the rose

My rose

My fantastic Rose
