Every Flower Dies

Sometimes the weight of loss seems unbearble. We all have someone we know we will always miss....

 
Every Flower Dies
by Joyce Melton

Last night
I saw the moonlight sparkle in your eyes

And my heart finally came to realize
I’ve always known the truth behind the lies
Love is just a bloom that flowers then it dies.

Spring’s hope is in a bee’s buzzing song
Summer suns help guide love along
Harvest colors should make us wise
That winter comes when every flower dies.

Some day I know you will remember me
A touch, a kiss, a sigh of memory
Years and miles and more between us lie
And the bloom of a love that had to die.

With luck we’ll never see again
The pain in each the other’s eyes
A glance of sorrow shared and then
We hide away behind our lies.

Tonight I must plan to sleep alone
Moonlight will not sparkle in my eyes
Yesterday’s seeds were cast and sown
For some tomorrow when every flower dies.
