The Flower and the Sun
She was beautiful, quiet;
he was arrogant, controlling,
and she let him burn the daisies
that once grew around her neck.
He was good, honest;
she was shallow, selfish,
and he wanted to be the sun
not realizing flowers needed shelter.
She craved the energy of the light;
he demanded the beauty of the petals,
so she tried growing roots deeper
but without water she fried.
If only he had been quiet;
and she had been honest.
Goodness could have shined,
but an eclipse from love was his fortune.
