"Numquam finitur, donec vita finiatur."
- K. D'Angelo Alexander


You're the flower whose beauty makes me write

 

I should've left you to be, but instead I cut you from the stem,

And I regret it every night

 

I see you in every Rose,

See the beauty of your thorns

 

We would've never lasted, I know

And I can't say I wasn't warned

 

Quite the hypocrite

Oh, how the tables have turned, Darling

 

I think it's quite ironic,

That I'm the one who says "Sorry"

 

Do you remember those days?

Our love a mess I didn't think needed to be fixed

 

You've healed, and moved on;

Now I'm the one who's sick

 

To hear you say, "I love you,"

Oh what I wouldn't give

 

Only now after life has ended,

Do I know what it means to live

This poem is for a friend of mine.

I know you'll never read this, Lilly, but you are the reason I chose to write and sing.

Original title was "Lilly." Editors changed it to the spelling of the flower.
