Please, in leiu of flowers

Why send beautiful flowers now that I’m gone?

If you could not bring me flowers

when I was still in the blush of life,

then why in the passage of my soul from this world should you bring any now?

When my lips were warm and arms able to embrace, no time you had, no love you brought, my loving gaze you did not acknowledge.

Never good enough was I, never rich enough, never ever enough.

So do not waste your time and money

feining false feelings about me my dear.

Please don’t send me flowers

for I am no longer here.
