Your Orchids
Your orchids were all over our place,
lining the driveway and fences too,
from our window panes, one can see,
different colors abound the way.
Then there were times,
you hanged them upside down,
I never knew it was to save
the dying ones.
A funny way to survive,
but survived they did very well.
Day in and out, you talked to them,
telling them not to die on you,
you must have scared them alright,
cuz all they did was bloom in stride.
Then came the day, you were not around,
your voice they missed, your touch were gone,
wondering when, your waters will come,
wondering why, you did not even say goodbye.
One by one, the petals fell,
their colors faded, their luster paled,
they must have seen the tears from my eyes,
cuz one day, they all decided to die.
