Wasted

Joakim Bergen

A flower, lonely stands,

Along the path I walk.

It waits, it waits.

It grows, it blooms.

It burgeons, it gives fruit.

It withers, it dies.

I never noticed,

Or maybe did not care;

 

It’s just another flower,

It’s just a flower.

 

But, it’s my flower...

And now its dead.

And I never got to know

Its scent.
