Memoir of a Wilting Flower

A fragile being strives to never fray
Against those that prey upon the frail
To survive where cold palms lay

Howls of blood lust from both sides at play
Out-sing a mouth with no voice to wail
A fragile being strives to never fray

Rigged fingers direct bullets without delay
As silent prayers carried to the heavens prevail
To survive where cold palms lay

Sky falls dark, clouds inhale powder and decay
One after another, hearts fall cold and stale
A fragile being strives to never fray

 All hopes and dreams forever blown away
The aftermath always makes it hard to exhale,
To survive where cold palms lay

All silenced, for none had anything else to say
Except one blood-stained survivor of the tale
 A fragile being strives to never fray
To survive, where cold palms lay
