In Every Garden

For a few moments of your life
You nurtured one of the world's rarest flowers
You loved her
Her gift in return
Was innocent
She opened her heart to you

Now you must tear down the sky
Because the flower's fate
Comes hushed

Your water cannot save her
Your tears of rage
Cannot hold her
Don't fade, you cry
With every fallen petal
Her colors leaving...

Her heart exposed
What's left of you, you whisper
(What's left of you)

Soon there will be nothing
Only moments
Which you'll continue to erase
(She never existed)
(I never loved her)
Until silence comes
As a weight
To rest upon your heart

She waits in your pools of silence
Although she has but one petal,
She beckons to you,
Come...
(Come to me)

You are distant and reserved
But you come
She cannot say all of the things
Engraved within her soul,
But shows her heart instead
Through all of the pain,
She can only smile

Thank you, she whispers...
Thank you for recognizing me
I will always love you
Her last petal falls
Like a whisper
upon your hand

She is gone...

The years come,
And Life.
The Spring, in flowers...

But still, she calls your name
But still, you search for her face
In every crowded garden
