Beautiful as a bulb
Fragrant as a flower
why should i bloom
just to die in an hour
take away my melody
that flows in the spring
but then what did i give you
what did you bring
plain white flowers
dot the world
to colorblind eyes
is whats unfurled
temporary beauty
lost on my eyes
when the scent is vulgar
the smell a disguise
Poisoning my heart
like drops of hate
smelling the flowers
i die prostrate
