A Blink of an Eye
You can see the leaves turn
The color fades in melancholy
You're feeling like a dead bark
Everyday you feel more lonely
You're fighting to remain beautiful
Tiny roots seem to fragile to stand
Those gret petals are destined to fall
Aging is necessary to mature
Trust yourself new petals will bloom later
Yet for a rotten rose there's no cure
Dreading dull agaony awaits for you
Promise to conquer your demons at once
Let your colors ignite with a clear bronze
