Flowers of A Little Girl

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…
