"Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.”<br /> <br /> ― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women


I pick the velvet petals that once were intact

I watch as they scatter across the grass

The dying rose reminds me of you

The time you wouldn’t change so I became someone new

You claimed that you were my savior when that wasn’t the truth 

It was me who saved you during your damaged youth

I told you stories that were written in my past

But when I asked you to write us a future, you just laughed

I thought we understood each other,

since we both had our parents who fought one another

We had a crave for music that would make us sway

But it died out and became quiet like the Chesapeake Bay

Everytime I see a flower slowly shrivel, I remember my growth

I focus on my goals and stay true to my oath

There you are still weeping and in pain 

But it does not matter now because I am not the one who lost more than they gained
