a little petal


wallowing in the rain


i take the river to the outskirts of town


where i met you


i am but a small thing


but you


you don't even compare to the sun


your warmth brings people in


and you take care of them


as i watch


i am but a petal in the waters


a decoration


a small detail in this piece of art


...


why is it that


i always take the river to see you?


i used to float aimlessly


wherever this stream would take me


it's where i would go


perhaps


it is because i await a time


where i meet you


alone


and maybe


the rain overshadows your glow


as i rip apart


from your tears 


...

a small detail in your story

that is what i am now
