They came from the ground with no fear of the world,
Majestically beautiful, wrecklessly colourful,
Dancing on the breeze,
Flowers with petals and dark green leaves,
Harmless and gentle, harmless weak.
Blustering down from the heights,
You came you left I saw your strife,
In every colour a perfect rainbow,
A revelation to me.
Taken I was, taken you were,
Stranded we were,
I kept saying,
All of this means everything,
everything to me.
Why do we lie,
lie to ourselves,
Just to feel something,
Something,
In our time.
So we lived inside decay,
wondering why we chose to stay,
It never made any sense to me,
Any sense at all,
Fearing your touch, your desire,
While we trampled on the fire,
You proded at me relentlessly,
Until I felt the pain.
Why do we lie,
lie to ourselves,
Just to feel something,
Something,
In our time.
