wilting flowers

wilting flowers

I don’t understand 

The conventionality of flowers. 

Why are they such a symbol of love? 

After a week or two

You wilt alongside them 

You too droop when you see them. 

They are as temporary as 

The love they are given with. 

Or maybe the love they never had. 

A bouquet of 

Snapdragons 

Tansys

Marigolds

Purple Hyacinths

Two-Toned Carnations 

Yellow Roses. 

They look beautiful in the moment

But only because you 

Accept them at face value. 

You let them sit in a vase 

Thinking the water would stop them from wilting 

The same way you think that receiving them 

Would save your relationship.
