Nipped from the bud
Torn, shredded and pained…
I cursed them all.
What pain is greater than such?
Pain which the soul cannot bear
Heart burning with anguish…
Thought my world has ended, because I can’t see clearly through the mist of the tears that besieged my innocent soul
I had been nipped from the bud.
A flower I was, tender and delicate
Attracting both young and otherwise
My presence always leave a scent
Like that of a freshly plucked rose
Or the fragrance of an Arabic Oil
Until I was nipped from the bud.
This experience I hate to recount
This sorrow torments my soul day and night
My chance of survival was slim but I struggle in between, and yes I won.
