Two Lonely Flowers

Two lonely flowers swaying in the wind

With each gust, a petal falls

Two lonely flowers trying to find a friend

But each gust silences their calls

They sit so close together

But are too afraid to speak

Their thoughts light as a feather

But you still won’t hear a squeak

For they are filled with fear

At the thought of somehow knowing

That if they turn they’ll shed a tear

When they realize there are no more petals showing
