Flowers and Trees
I've always been a flower, delicate and soft
My beauty always praised, my presence always loved
I flutter in the wind, my petals colourful and bright
Smiling at the world, shining in the sunlight
I fell for a tree, the promise of protection
Powerful and strong, though I was afraid of your rejection
So much power, you accepted me, took me under your leaf
Though love and protection didn't stay for long, but I didn't see through your deceive
When I saw the soil, I had settled in by now, was toxic and rotten
The chances of turning back, could long be forgotten
Trees are big and wise, but they block the sun it's light
A little flower under a tree, will never shine as bright
My colour began to fade
My beauty hidden in the shade
Falling for a tree, will cause the flower to fade
