Spider Lily
January 29, 2022
Spider lilies thrive,
But final separation,
Is forever near.
Clinging on to you,
Never to let go again.
But that’s just a dream.
When the flower blooms,
The leaves all wither away.
They will never meet.
Do you wonder why…
They’re called the flowers of hell?
Because they leave you.

So true!!! And beautifully conveyed!!! I like the idea of spider lilies and high-five, I too loved spider lilies until I found out the bitter truth!!!
I really loved spider lilies before I searched up their meaning...
