Torn Petals

Another day
Another hour
Another petal
Torn from a flower

If there were ever a time that you knew me, a petal on a stone or a light that was cast through painted glass when the shade of your eyes brightened and the corner of your mouth rose ever so slightly...I follow fallen leaves down a familiar path and we meet half way, uncertain but free to wonder.

I find there lies a mask in every face
And the truth is always, always encased
And it wears me further away
When all I wanted was for you to stay...

wow, this is powerful, the way heartstrings come undone, the reader can't help but feel your words, and the imagery comes to life, expressive and transporting, felt like i was walking through an autumn day, where golden leaves litter the ground, and maples shade the path of sadness. excellent job

I love the begining alot but I also loved this as well

I find there lies a mask in every face
And the truth is always, always encased
And it wears me further away
When all I wanted was for you to stay...
