Violet

Violets fall around me,

Swirling, spinning,

Their fragrance,

permeates my conciousness,

reminding me of times forgotten,

memories hidden within,

my heart.

Broken beyond repair,

I sit and wait for nightfall,

for then I can breathe.

The violets continue their descent,

as I float amongst them,

gently caressing them.

My reflection haunts me,

As I stare into the mirrors' icy depths,

innocence gone I am but a shell,

my emotions trapped within.

And still the violets fall.

Or am I the one falling,

Everything is so blurry now,

I am merely a shadow in existence,

gently fading into nothingness,

Violets falling around me.
