The bougainvillaea vine is drying up
The lilac bracts are turning brown,
The tiny, waxy flowers in the middle
Nowadays, they are hard to see.
The leaves are losing their greenness too.
I wonder what has happened to the vine!
How the lilacs have gone away with time!
Little did I notice the vine was dying slowly over there!
Little did I notice the despise vine needed some care!
All those lilac bracts, that green vine
It was there forever;
As long as I can remember.
The pink and lilac bracts,
Those waxy flowers in the middle,
I have crushed them numerous times.
Just like I crush my heart over and over,
it was bleeding so hard
But I chose not to look deeper.
