There is an orchid someone gave me
|
Flat and pressed under the glass
|
It once was pink and vivid
|
But today its day has passed
|
Its brown leaf spread weak and thin
|
That orchid feels just like my bones and skin
|
Its heartbeat centre of its soul
|
Is now just furry shelter to protect it from the cold
|
Laid out flat for visual effect
|
Today I feel a lot like that
|
I put it in its frame eternal joy
|
And now its just another burned out toy
|
You should have seen the way
|
It slowly just decayed
|
I feel a lot like that orchid today
|
