Flowers 2

May 18, 2024

I have always hated flowers, not because they are not beautiful,
capable of illuminating ones life
but because they soon fall without consolation
like a mad love that loves so strongly that it extinguishes the embraces of a past love.
that’s why I prefer them plastic,
even if they look false, and their light does not illuminate your eyes with the same tenderness
at least I know they’ll be there, even when I’m gone.
