There is an orchid someone gave me 

Flat and pressed under the glass 

It once was pink and vivid 

But today its day has passed 



Its brown leaf spread weak and thin 

That orchid feels just like my bones and skin 

Its heartbeat centre of its soul 

Is now just furry shelter to protect it from the cold



Laid out flat for visual effect 

Today I feel a lot like that 

I put it in its frame eternal joy 

And now its just another burned out toy 



You should have seen the way 

It slowly just decayed 

I feel a lot like that orchid today
