Aeris
Aeris. . . . . Aeris
Today was the day I went back to your house
And no one was home, yet
I could swear you were there
The essence of your gaze
was in every room
Oh, Aeris, don’t be mad. . . .
I let myself in.
I couldn’t escape your gaze. . . .
Nor did I want to. . . .
And Aeris, your flowers were dying
but there was nothing I could do,
and they asked me
where did that flower girl go?
and I remembered how many
times I loved you
~my little flower girl~
and I asked how many times you would have to die before you found
rest.
