PART IV ; FALLING PETALS/FALLING SEEDS

the petals fell around us
and we fell with them

but we didn't know that we were seeds

and as we watched the

petals,
we thought we were one of them

so we fade

oh darling, when it rains it pours
and instead of blooming fuchsia
blossoms we let the rain smother us

this is about the pasts that shaped who we are
of the monsters in ourselves and the world who made us dead inside

this is why we try to make each other alive
