The Blooming Flowers
The flowers bloom as the sun sets,
but how long until until they wither?
Maybe a day, week, month, year, or more.
Eventually, they'll be gone forever.
Who are these flowers that seem to scatter away?
Always saddening my heart and soul.
How long until the next batch withers away?
How long will I be ever so sorrowful?
Life continues to disappoint me,
filling gloom and desire.
Waiting for the moment when things may change,
but only finding that life can be a brutal liar.
As the blooming flowers bring joy to many,
I see them only as a moment of another day,
because they're not at all special.
For just as life, they'll soon wither away.
