Fade out the lights
Carnival is all but over
Little girl
Why are you waiting?
With those flowers
Beautiful flowers
Smiling at the heavens
Smiling at the dark
I’m waiting, she said
Darkness came,
Wind blew, screaming in her ears
Rain poured, drowning her eyes
Little girl
Who stole your flowers?
Was it lost in the dark?
Her eyes searching for the pieces
Heavy with shame
No, she sighed
Flowers she found
Petals torn against their will
Colors robbed without a cry
Stabbed with thorns
Gasping for life
Little girl
Will the flowers die?
Will they fade away?
She said…
