"The Lily's Revenge"
song lyric.
LILY
The floating down
a flower free
to be
to be
as tears descend, decree
the cheek
home
but with the weight of all they learn
must cling then fall
and seek to
roam
disperse upon the earth
adjourn from yearning
tomes
A flower falls
much faster than a wish
and so my longings lay
are late
lost
and I am left to know my fate
to land
to lose.
This ache, the cost of being what you’re not
and I will die upon the grating frost.
