Description
I found it one morning,
just sitting there,
its beautiful colors intrigued me,
I could only stop and stare.

When I finally grew used to it,
I brought it inside,
I watered and fed the flower,
I set everything aside.

It thrived for many years,
bringing it's color to my life,
its beauty like none other,
its thorns as sharp as a knife.

One day I found to my dismay,
my lovely treasure was dying,
I know it sounds silly, it's only a flower,
but I couldn't help crying.

I tried so hard to make it better,
I gave it all I could,
I tried to talk it into living,
but the flower never understood.

When the last petal fell,
I felt my hopes drop,
why I cried, I knew not,
but the pain didn't ever stop.

My treasure is gone now,
yet I still feel strangely dead,
I'm surrounded by other wonderful flowers,
but my heart is as heavy as lead.
