The Flower and The Girl

Brightly, the flower bloomed
Etching the feelings of love
Of needing into the girl’s soul

Softly, the flower sang
Songs of memories past
And the journey ahead

Gently, the flower touched
Its petals soft, luring the girl
Giving warmth and comfort

Quickly, the flower stung
Thorns embedded deep into flesh
Drawing precious blood

Tightly, the flower gripped
Draining the girl dry
Leaving her nothing to depend on

Sadly, the girl died
Embraced by the flower
Forever locked in deception.

One song came to mind as I read this "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison, it talks of a bad relationship the lead singer had. I imagine this poem to mean near or just the same. Absolutely love it

Very nice I like it. It's sad and lovely at the same time.
