violet

i am a flower,
and i require continual care.
water me every day
lay me in the sunlight
and sing to me, as often as you can
(little did you know
it helps me grow)

i am a flower,
and i am wilting.
soil dry and barren
petals draped in shadows,
withered and brown
(how little you know
what helps me grow)
