Death of a Lily
Death of a Lily
I knew you once when I was
an untouched lily, an innocent song
unsure of my words, a sparrow
in search of wings, and you... you
were a chameleon, an unpredictable
shadow that tiptoed in and out
of my life with no regrets, no good-byes
or apologies, and I trusted you
with the naivete' of youth, the reckless
abandon of discovered womanhood
...but you betrayed me, silencing my
soul, withering the lily I was just
becoming, almost destroying all
I had yet to be with no reasons
and no remorse, and I let you live
within the anger of my broken heart,
hate consuming me, stealing my
will, my passion, faith in myself...
I knew you once when I was
an untouched lily but that girl no
longer exists... I am a woman now
...and there is no room for you
here anymore..
