Wilt

Wilt -

I grow only to die
I live only to fly
I die only to spawn
the flowers of years gone by

decay of disease
dismantle my mind
rotten core
the seeds of my undoing
wilted and sublime
I die a thousand
reasons why
death has passed me by

I
take a hold of my thorned
heart - opened up
only to bleed upon the
wicked garden..
stabbing me with the
deadly dart

I grow only to die
I live only to fly
I die only to spawn
the flowers of years gone by

decay of disease
dismantle my mind
rotten core
the seeds of my undoing
wilted and sublime
I die a thousand
reasons why
death has passed me by
