The flower never blossomed
In a dark world full of pain
Because the sun refused to shine
And tears replaced the rain
So it slowly wilted and withered
And was carried away with the wind
Only to land upon a barren earth
To try to grow again
And it tried a little harder
As it sprouted through the dirt
But the roots could not take hold
From memories full of hurt
It had nobody to nurture it
In a soil spoiled with sin
And so it slowly died once more
Until Spring came back again
But the hope of a warm spring
Was ruined by a blanket of snow
It had so much love to share
but had nowhere to grow
It lived in a world that did not care
how alone it felt inside
So the flower never blossomed
Because the love it once had… had died
