LIKE THE PETALS OF A FLOWER

Like the petals of a flower,
my bonds with you fall away,
and I wane.

*started as "my bonds with you" when I wrote it. Had tried "the bonds that hold me to you," at some point. Not sure which it was closer to when I wrote it in my head, I think maybe it was "my bonds with you"
originally wrote it as a comma and linebreak after the word "you", but I think this is actually how I meant to write it in my head originally, and that this puts more emphasis on "and I wane"
