Dry flower

Remember when you where young?
Mothers treasure chest, you'd find her white dress.
People always told you,
'develop in you the perfect him'
So you did.
Ballet classes.Piano recitals. School show cases. Hours of practice. Lessons attended.
Special occasions typically brought flowers.

Symbols of what?
Efforts closer to perfection. Caring love. Appreciation of you. Birthday's.

Even water couldn't stop the wilting.

They told you,

'so it is, life'

You believed.

Life eternal. First impressions. Ever lasting love. Pain diminished.

Introduction to society brings truth

Change belief?

you ask,

'talent told for what,

lord can you hear me now'

White dress, just to wear. dreams, so sorry.

Preserve it for memory

dry.

She changed her, when she couldn't change you.
