My Crestfallen Sunflower

Dedicated to: Steven Kurt Colita🌻

You were perfect, always bringing me joy

My only flower, yellow as the sun

You ignite me, my cold sleeping heart

I felt bigger and brighter when you're around

You were my yellow garden

You were my dandelion jewel

Always longing for your presence

How I wished time had lengthened

When you were still blooming

Inside my only garden

When you were facing the sunlight

When we were not crestfallen

Time ticked, our hearts break

Uprooted, death by daybreak

Cold touch, lifeless ember

That was me, not you, my sunflower
