When my petals are falling off,
And my stem is wilting and curved over
My face has darkened,
And my desires are all gone
When my breath is shorter,
And the days seem longer.
My heart slows, my anger grows
And my mind is confused
I am no longer understood at all
My body is weak and lost,
And my mind is sleeping
I'm broken and hungry
Waiting for life to be restored
To this lifeless shell
