'Each and Every Petal of You'

I’m no child of yours

Yet you care for me like a parent would

I’m no sister of yours

Yet you treat me like I am

you’ve become an extension of me

a silver mirror

the burns on my skin burn you too,

and for some reason

you still choose to stay

 

love is a choice

and we have chosen each other every time

i will never forget that

so if one day our paths ever dare to polarise

no death of us can undo the life you gave me

 

i hope to find you in every person i meet

and to plant the seed the way you did in me

so their lives too blossom into something beautiful

i carry the honour and privilege

that i got to experience this gift

at least once in my life

 

because as long as i write

and as long as i paint

you will never die
