Cocoon

I'm sorry my friend,

You poor cocoon,

It was late at night

I picked you too soon

You clenched to the flower

And prayed to evolve

Such an act of destruction

and it will never resolve

I'm sorry my friend,

the many in so few

now just a lifeless embryo

In a world you never knew

Farewell my son,

I never intended

to have or to give away

I never knew you at all

and we have no connection

but I can still feel

your pain
