"This, too, will pass."


I wore a crown
of leaves today
to feel once more
like your Queen –

My Lord,
the leaves have fallen,
faded,
gone,
and I am nothing again.

Haha, I've always wanted to have a "forget you" bonfire! That, or throw all the stuff off a cliff. But that might be littering. >.>

Thank you! Well, long story short: my first boyfriend was the Gnome King (trust me), and I made myself a little flower/leaf crown right after we broke up. I wore it around for a day, and the next morning, the leaves had all shriveled up. It kind of dawned on me then that I had lost him.
Now you know! ^ ^' Thank you for commenting! <3

Nice! It's simplistic, yet there is so much meaning.

Please check out my poetry too if you get the chance! TeenInk.com/poetry/free_verse/article/246555/Books/
