She falls slowly onto the floor

Red puddles form on the ground

Rose petals all around

The blade falls in her clenched hand

Her dry tears feel like sand

She starts losing feeling in her toes

Then in her legs

Nothing can flow

This is what she wanted

Nothing but pain

She should be happy

So why do her eyes rain?

She thought about her family

And how it was too late, sadly

She changes her mind

but can’t reach in time

The hours reach four

Her family is torn

But they knew it was coming

the lightning has struck

It has been brewing for years

They just didn’t care enough

The storm that blew all the petals away
