Don't Wilt Away

Flowers, mere objects

Meanings hidden deep within

Beautiful at the start

They slowly wilt away

Just like the happiness

Just like the unforgiving day



The time never stops

Nor does the clock

Till the batteries run out

And fade away

There goes the day

Another chance to make everything ok...

There you go yet again

No more chances to make amends

Just run away

Fade like the day

I guess our flower will someday wilt away

But until then...

Don't you  fade away



Making plans, holding hands

I never got to see your face

You smile with grace

Something special in a way I can embrace

You write for me

I write for you

Maybe we can be a me and you

Here's a rose

Hold it close

Don't let time wilt it away



Forget the hard times

I can't keep on making new rhymes

In fact I'm so sick of writing about it

I just wish I'd forget that day

When she and I were once together

I knew nothing but your face

Now my thoughts are filled with everything

And your thoughts fill an empty space



Don't wilt away

Like the sun from the day

Like the rose will do in time

Give it a thought

A time to grow

All my secrets you are entitled to know

Don't let me go away

I want to see that smile on your face

Such a beautiful kind of grace

The only kind that I would ever want to embrace

This poem is really good..:p and i'm not just saying that becuase its about me. The phrases flow really well. and the words are from the heart. One of these days i'll be just as good at expressing my feelings to you, as you are at expressing yours to me. Even if it's not one day soon; i hope you can still see how much you mean to me. ;) and i won't wilt away.

Yours,
Alexa
